High school history , particularly the Australian history component, progresses from the ability to remember a string of events, to the ability to research, analyse, and put forward reasonable conclusions and arguments as to the meaning of these events, and how they affect us today. 

As a result, we have created three separate themes for the virtual site visits that we have created for the Australian Compulsory History syllabus, for years 7-10.

1930 to Today

The Great Depression, followed by World War 2, post war migration , Korea and Vietnam all profoundly changed Australia in different ways. These site visits bring home the realities of life in these eras, and will provide fuel for thought as to who we want ourselves to be today
