They locate the countries and major features of Asia, explore how Australia is connected to other countries through trade, migration, travel, aid and culture, and compare indicators of wellbeing across countries. In the Australian Curriculum v9.0 this learning sits within the HASS (Humanities and Social Sciences) learning area.
