About History at MGHS
‘How can we live together if we don’t appreciate our own and others’ histories?’ (Holocaust survivor Hadasa Rosenbaum, as quoted in Taylor,T, The Future of the Past, Faculty of Education, Monash University, Melbourne, 2000). History allows students to travel through time exploring the ancient, medieval and modern worlds. A knowledgeable, dedicated and passionate staff is there to help the student in this journey. All students study mandatory History in years 7 – 10. Students have the opportunity while in year 8 to select History as an additional elective in years 9 and 10. In the senior school students can choose to study Ancient History, Modern History (or both) as well as specialising in Extension History in the HSC year. History’s success is measured in the consistently good results students achieve in both the School Certificate and the HSC. |
