Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Mrs A. Thwaites.
STUDYING HISTORY gives you a huge advantage for any job, especially those that involve working with people. Careers like journalism, law, business, medicine, administration, political studies etc all need skills learned in History.
Studying History gives meaning to the world you live in, it helps you understand what’s going on in the world and why!
History is much more than Kings, Queens, Facts & Dates!…..We look at the significance of major world events, perspectives on these events and work like detectives using historical sources to help us piece together historical stories from local, national and international settings.
