Year 13 History

Year 13 History

The study of History allows us to understand our past, which in turn helps us to understand our present.  History helps us understand people and societies, what factors motivated some people to take actions that they did, understanding different perspectives, and continues to build on second tier concepts of causation, continuity and change and significance.  Skills such as research and historical thinking will also continue to be developed.  History also provides foundational knowledge and understanding for tertiary courses and degrees in areas such as Health Services, Law, Education, Social Work and Nursing.

Year 13 History is designed to produce an informed and interested person with a sound knowledge of the way the human world works.  It gives emphasis to the skills of gathering information, developing a logical argument and presenting a well-organised report.  In the age of information explosion these skills are increasingly critical in today's job market.
