History elective Years 9 and 10

This is a Stage 5 (Years 9 and 10) course that is optional for students. The study of History Elective enables students to investigate the actions, motives and lifestyles of people over time, from individuals and family members, to local communities, expanding to national and world history contexts. It introduces the idea that the past contains many stories and that there is never only one uncontested version.

Topics include Film as History, The Tudors, The French Revolution and Ireland and India.
