About HASS Resources
HASS — Humanities and Social Sciences — teaching resources support Australian primary students to explore history, geography, civics and citizenship, and economics and business. HASS gives students the tools to understand the world they live in: how societies have developed over time, how places and environments shape human experience, and how communities make decisions and manage resources. Quality HASS resources help teachers bring these big ideas to life in engaging, age-appropriate ways.
TeachBuySell offers a growing HASS collection created by Australian teachers who understand the inquiry-based nature of this learning area. Browse history timelines and source analysis activities, geography mapping and fieldwork tasks, civics resources exploring democratic processes and community belonging, and economics activities that introduce concepts such as needs and wants. Resources span Foundation through Year 6 and are tagged to specific year-level content descriptions.
HASS connects strongly to English through literacy-rich tasks such as research reports, persuasive texts, and source analysis, making it a natural area for cross-curricular planning. Resources that link HASS to current events, local community contexts, and significant dates in the Australian calendar help make learning relevant and meaningful. Explore our HASS collection to find resources that spark curiosity about the human world and Australia's place within it.
