Year 10 Humanities

On Wednesday 23 May, Year 10 Humanities Extension and Mainstream 1 classes participated in the 2018 Australian History Competition. Students were challenged with questions ranging from topics related to their general knowledge to the Australian Curriculum. The relevant time period lapsed from late 1800s to WWII, focusing on Australian involvement in international affairs and the influence of significant global events on Australian society.

Students had the opportunity to apply not merely content, but analytical skills on written and visual sources learnt throughout the High School years.

The following are quotations from students leaving class after the competition:

“Extremely happy the results do not go toward my grade” Caitlin Bransby

“The last questions clearly show the role of pop culture in our society.” Shania Cura.

“We particularly enjoyed the last few questions, as they are quite relevant to our generation” Samuel Kininmonth and Rishi Naik
