History develops in young people an interest in and enjoyment of exploring the past.
A study of History provides opportunities for examining events, people and societies from ancient, medieval and modern times, including twentieth-century Australia.
What will students learn about?
Students explore the nature of history, how historians investigate the past and the importance of conserving our heritage. Aspects of the ancient and medieval world are studied, including origins and daily life of the ancient world and beliefs and values of medieval societies. The nature of colonisation and contact history is also examined.
Students develop an understanding of significant developments in Australia's social, political and cultural history. They study Federation, the Vietnam War era and the social history of one decade in depth. They examine Australia's international relationships through the study of the two world wars, and our role as a global citizen. The changing rights and freedoms of Aboriginal peoples and other groups in Australia are also studied.
