Australian History

The students will recognise the cause and effect of migration and study the different groups living in the Australian colonies. Students will learn about their way of life and how they contributed to the changing social and economic landscape within the colonies. 

Through an historical inquiry, students will develop skills in analysing sources as evidence, recognising cause and effect, identifying patterns of continuity and change in the daily lives of migrants and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples and explain the influence of a significant event on the development of a colony.
