Modern History
Uncovering the Past, Questioning Evidence, and Understanding Today’s World
History empowers students to investigate the events, ideas and individuals that have shaped societies across time. Through critical inquiry, source analysis and historical debate, boys develop the ability to evaluate evidence, understand diverse perspectives and connect the lessons of the past with the challenges of today.
Senior Preparation (Year 10)
From Ancient Civilisations to Modern Movements
Year 10 History develops students’ skills in research, source analysis and historical interpretation through the study of ancient societies and modern global events.
Boys explore archaeology, belief systems, conflict and social change while building the analytical writing and critical thinking skills needed for senior humanities pathways.
Senior Years (Year 10-12)
Understanding Power, Conflict and Change
Senior History provides students with the opportunity to explore the forces that have shaped human civilisation through Ancient and Modern History.
By analysing empires, revolutions, political movements and global conflicts, boys develop sophisticated research and communication skills that support future pathways in fields including law, politics, journalism, international relations and education.
