Social, Environmental and Scientific Education (SESE) provide opportunities for the child to explore, investigate and develop and understanding of the natural, human, social and cultural dimensions of local and wider environments; to learn a wide range of skills; and to acquire open, critical and resposible attitude.
SESE enables the child to live as an informed and caring member of local and wider communities.

SESE takes place within, and contributes to many areas of the curriculum, it thus contributes significantly to many aspects of the child's development.

Within this curriculum, SESE is presented under three subject headings;
History, Geography and Science. Each of these are as has a distinctive role to play in enabling the child to explore and understand the natural, human, social and cultural environments in which he/she lives.

In Geography.

In geographical education, children explore and learn about features in natural and human environments, especially those in the immediate locality. They investigate the processes which create, sustain or change physical features, and the interactions of people with each other and their environments in the locality and wider contexts.

In Science.

Science education enhances children’s knowledge and understanding of themselves and the world in which they live. It involves children in the active construction of their own understanding.
This understanding changes in response to the children’s broadening experiences.
A scientific approach to investigations fosters the development of important skills, concepts and knowledge through which children can observe, question, investigate, understand and think logically about living things and their environments, materials, forces, everyday events and problems.

The knowledge and skills acquired may be applied in designing and making activities in which children perceive a need to create or modify elements of their environments.

In History.

Historical education enables children to investigate and examine critically significant events in their own immediate past, the past of their families and local communities and the histories of people in Ireland and other parts of the world. History develops an understanding of the actions, beliefs and motivations of people in the past and is fundamental to an informed appreciation of contemporary society and environments.
