History 2

New in 2025

History 2 explores the world from ancient times into the modern era.

In studying ancient history, learners will explore evidence from the past about either:

• an ancient site
• a significant historical individual or group
• an event

In studying history into the modern era, learners will investigate:

• significant developments that moved us into the modern world
• how groups and institutions have challenged authority and transformed the world we live in
• a movement for change in the 20th century

Legal Studies Foundation 2

Legal Studies Foundation provides an introduction to the many varied aspects of law - including Consumer Law, Family Law and Employment Law.

Students investigate where the law comes from, how it can be changed, and the role that the police play in our society.

The course supports students to develop critical thinking skills and extend both their written and oral communication skills in order to prepare them for not only Legal Studies 3, but a variety of Level 3 Humanities subjects. 

Ancient History 3

Ancient History enables students to study life in an early civilisation based on the analysis and interpretation of physical and written remains.

It shows how the world and its people have changed, as well as the significant legacies that exist into the present, and gives a context for this interconnectedness of past and present.

It is also concerned with the possible motivations and actions of individuals and groups, and how they shaped the political, social and cultural landscapes of the ancient world.

Geography 3

Geography provides a structured, disciplinary framework to investigate and analyse a range of challenges and associated opportunities facing Australia and the global community.

These challenges include rapid change in biophysical environments, the sustainability of places, dealing with environmental risks and the consequences of international integration.

Modern History 3

This Modern History course enables students to study the forces that have shaped today's world and provides them with a broader and deeper comprehension of the world in which they live.

The focus of the course is on the larger historical themes that have dominated the twentieth century, individuals, movements, events and ideas that have shaped the contemporary world and key drivers of change.

Legal Studies 3

Legal Studies gives students core knowledge and equips them to describe and assess essential principles, features and institutions of our legal and political systems, and how they operate locally, nationally and in an international context.

The course promotes understanding of the dynamic nature of Australia's liberal democracy, its interactive processes, and the pursuit of equity and justice under the rule of law.
