What is inside the Humanities Classroom Poster set?

Humanities concepts can be hard to make real. You teach chronology, ethics, or supply chains, and a student still asks what any of it has to do with them getting a job one day.

These posters answer that on the wall for you. Each one takes a single humanities concept, anchors it in a photograph of the real world, and explains in plain English how people use that idea at work.

The set includes:

• Twenty full-colour A3 posters, one concept each, so you can build a display that matches what you are teaching this term.
• A bold concept headline on every poster, sized to read from the back of a classroom.
• A short, plain-English explainer covering what the concept is and who uses it in their work.
• A real-world photograph on each poster, from city streets and galleries through to landscapes and workplaces.
• Five print-ready PDF files, available in your browser straight after checkout and by email.
• An unlimited school print licence, so you can print at A5, A4, A3, or A2, as often as you like.

Files are supplied at super high resolution (not like the pixelated images just below), so the posters hold their quality at large sizes as well as small.

 

Why humanities teachers and careers advisors use these posters

Humanities subjects lose students to one question: what job does this lead to? Science and maths have obvious answers. History, geography, civics, and society do not, even though the careers are everywhere.

That gap shows up at subject selection. Students walk away from humanities because nobody made the link out loud, often enough, in the places they already look.

These posters make the link visible and permanent. Humanities teachers get a display that does some of the teaching. Heads of Department get a consistent look across every room in the faculty without briefing each teacher. Careers advisors get twenty conversation starters working in classrooms they are not standing in.

We will be upfront about what these are. They are display posters, not a lesson plan. They will start conversations and hold attention. They will not teach a unit on their own.

Twenty (20) concepts, spread across your whole faculty

Each poster covers one concept. Between them, the set reaches right across humanities and social sciences rather than sitting inside one subject.

• History and heritage – Chronology, Sources, Interpretation, Curation, Heritage
• Geography and environment – Spatial, Biomes, Place, Sustainability
• Society and culture – Society, Culture, Belief Systems, Perspective, Demographics
• Civics and ethics – Ethics, Justice
• Economics and business – Commerce, Supply Chains
• Thinking skills – Analysis, Synthesis

One purchase covers the whole faculty. A history teacher, a geography teacher, and a Civics and Citizenship teacher can each take the posters that suit their room, and the walls still read as one set.

If you want posters that map whole subjects to career pathways instead of single concepts, see the Subject Pathway Posters. If you are covering the other side of the timetable, there is a matching Science Classroom Poster set.

Ways to use your posters across the school

You have the full print files, so you choose the size. A5 for a noticeboard, A4 for a rotating display, A3 for the classroom wall, A2 for a corridor.

Ideas that work well in schools:

• Cover one wall with the full twenty, so the whole learning area is visible at once.
• Print a small set for each humanities room and rotate them alongside your teaching program.
• Line the corridor near the humanities staffroom or the careers office.
• Put them up at subject selection evenings, so families can see where humanities leads.
• Use them at careers expos and parent-teacher nights.
• Display them on school screens, which your licence also covers.

Schools already use Study Work Grow subject posters this way. You can see how a few of them have done it in our real-life schools gallery.

What you get when you order

The set arrives as five print-ready PDF files. Download them from the shop straight after checkout, and a secure download link is emailed to you as well.

Choose the One Campus, Two Campus, or Three Campus licence to match your school. Every licence covers unlimited printing and digital display within the campuses it names, with no expiry date and no logins to manage.

If you cannot use a school credit card, or your accounts team needs an invoice first, email info@studyworkgrow.com with your order request and school details, and we will raise an invoice instead.

Who the Humanities Classroom Posters are for

The set was built with four readers in mind:

• Humanities, History, Geography, Civics, and Social Sciences teachers who want a display that does more than fill wall space.
• Heads of Department for Humanities who need one resource that works across every room in the faculty.
• Careers Advisors, School Counsellors, and Guidance Officers who want careers visible well outside the careers office.
• School Librarians and school leaders curating shared spaces, subject selection evenings, and careers expos.

Careers Advisors please note:

Your print licence covers your school community. You can print for every humanities room, show the files on school screens, and use them at school events without breaching it. If your school runs more than one campus, choose the Two Campus or Three Campus option so every site is covered. Sharing with a different school is not covered, so a second school needs its own copy. If you want to pass something on to a colleague at another school, get in touch and we will sort out a goodie pack for them.

Why you might not need this poster set

If you teach one humanities subject and only want posters for one room, this set is probably more than you need. Twenty concepts across six subject areas is built for a faculty.

If your walls are already full and this term’s budget is going into lesson materials, the Subject Pathway Posters are the lower-risk first purchase. They map whole subjects to careers, so a single poster covers more ground.

And if what you actually want is posters that name specific jobs rather than subject concepts, the Career Wall Display will serve you better.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How many posters are in the set, and what do they cover? Twenty. Each poster covers a single humanities concept, running from Chronology, Sources, and Interpretation through to Supply Chains, Demographics, and Belief Systems, with a plain-English explainer of how people use that concept at work.

What size can I print them at? They are designed at A3 and supplied as high-resolution, print-ready PDFs. Print at A5, A4, A3, or A2 to suit the space. For the best result, use a colour printer on 160gsm or heavier paper, and set scaling to 100 per cent.

How many copies can I print, and does the licence expire? Print as many as you need, whenever you need them, across the campuses named on your licence. There is no annual limit, no expiry date, and no login to keep track of.

Can I share the posters with another school? No. One licence covers one school. Multi-campus schools should choose the Two Campus or Three Campus option. If you want to share something with a colleague at another school, contact us and we will arrange a goodie pack instead.

Can we display them on school screens? Yes. Digital display across your licensed campuses is covered, so the posters work on foyer screens, library displays, and at school events as well as on walls.

What year levels are they suitable for? The sibling Science Classroom Poster set is for Years 7 to 12, with some possible upper primary use with guidance from teachers.

How do I get the files, and can we pay by invoice? You can download the five PDF files in your browser straight after checkout, and a secure link is emailed to you as well. If your school needs an invoice first, email info@studyworkgrow.com with your order request and school details.
