History enables students to understand our world and put the present in context. Students study empires past and present, the media, slavery, wars, revolutions, poverty, human rights, dictators and democracies, as well as Australian history in a globalising world. The study of history is a good basis for understanding politics, heritage, social and social indigenous issues. It teaches analytical skills and a deep understanding of society.
