In semester two the students begin the History course by 'Investigating the Ancient Past' before studying ancient civilizations, such as Ancient Egypt and Ancient China.
History develops an interest in, and enjoyment of, exploring the past and proving opportunities for examining events, people and societies from ancient times.
