Integrated studies brings together different areas of the Victorian Curriculum in a meaningful way to enable students to develop a comprehensive understanding of the complex ideas, concepts and influences within a topic. Students explore a theme or topic in depth, developing the knowledge, understandings and skills from multiple subject areas. This approach makes studying the content much more interesting and engaging as links and relationships between disciplines are explored.
