Effective from 01-JAN-2026 : Code MIAAKX

History is central to understanding our world, and Australia’s place within it. Studying history enables students to develop the skills necessary to analyse evidence, detect disinformation, think critically, and communicate effectively. These are all transferrable skills that can enhance study in other disciplines, and that are highly valued in all professions. Students can choose from a range of history units that will equip them with a strong foundation in historical studies.
