Students at this stage
In Years 7 and 8, young people start to become more independent and self-assured; they want more freedom and can experience greater peer influence. When communicating and collaborating online, students develop an understanding of different social contexts, including acknowledging cultural practices and meeting legal obligations.
Students build on their understanding of the vital role that data can play in their lives, and how data and related systems define and are limited by technical, environmental, economic and social constraints.
In Years 7 and 8, the nature of relationships and other factors that influence people’s beliefs, attitudes, opportunities, decisions, behaviours and actions are examined. Students should demonstrate a range of help-seeking strategies that support them to access and evaluate information and services.
