History is taught from Kindergarten to Year 6 using the History K-10 Syllabus.

Students use historical methods and techniques to reconstruct the past to explain how people, places and events have shaped the world today. Through a process of historical inquiry, students study key historical concepts.

• Continuity and change
• Cause and effect
• Perspectives
• Significance
• Empathy
• Contestability

Students explore history using a range of sources. They create texts about the past using a range of communication forms. These skills are outlined in the continuum of skills in history K-10.
