Year 13 History

The Year 13 History course is designed to recognise the growing academic maturity of students and requires them to explore issues in more depth than at earlier levels. Students are expected to develop more extended, informed and convincing arguments in response to key historical debates about 19th Century contexts. The course examines the influence of global forces like feminism and colonisation on the lives of individuals, the ways in which they responded, and how different historical narratives have influenced our understanding of the past. 

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
