Students in Grade 10 have been exploring the causes and effects of events, developments, turning points or movements in 20th century Australia and internationally, leading up to and through the Second World War, and the post-war world. They describe social, cultural, economic and/or political aspects, including international developments, related to the changes and continuities in Australian society over this historical period.

Students have been developing and modifying a range of questions about the past to inform historical inquiry. History promotes the understanding of societies, events, movements, ideas and developments that have shaped humanity from the earliest times. It helps students appreciate how the world and its people and environments have changed, as well as the significant continuities that exist to the present day.
