To prepare for the future, we must first look to the past. This is one of several reasons why History is an important subject. History also helps us to understand human nature and to see what has changed, or stayed the same, over time. History is a valuable lesson in what human beings are capable of (both positive and negative) and can be great for students to build their awareness of places, people and culture before travelling interstate and overseas in the future.

In HaSS this term, Grade 7's have covered an introduction to Ancient History and the Deep Time History of Australia. Grade 8's have investigated the Vikings and Medieval Europe. In Grade 9, students have learned about the Industrial Revolution and are looking at Australian History around the time of European settlement. Grade 10's have analysed the causes of WWII and have been studying the holocaust.

As you can see, History is sequenced in a chronological order at High School. At College, students are also able to study Modern World History, which covers everything after the Second World War. Additionally, Ancient Civilizations is another subject that can be selected.
