Year 12 History

History teaches skills essential for the successful navigation of our information-dense world: analysis, summarising, constructing an argument, interpreting and evaluating sources and communicating with clarity are all skills taught in History. Year 12 History focuses on the theme of political leadership; examining the extent to which well-known leaders have tested the limits of their rights and responsibilities, shaping the course of the 20th Century in the process. Case studies include the rise of the Nazi state in Germany from 1919 to 1938 and the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in1945.

Subjects in the Social Sciences Faculty equip students with knowledge and skills essential for navigating today's information-dense world. Students of Geography, History and Social Sciences are valued for their ability to engage with complex issues, understand perspectives and communicate compelling arguments. These subjects develop transferrable skills in research, critical literacy and communication which are valuable in all future career pathways.
