Modern History students examine traces of humanity’s recent past so they may form their own views about the Modern World. Students learn that the past is contestable and tentative. They discover how the past consists of various perspectives and interpretations. 

Modern History enables students to empathise with others and make meaningful connections between the past, present and possible futures.
