The study of History Extension provides an opportunity for students to engage with the ideas and practices of historians and other producers of history when constructing and representing history. Students use independence, insight and their learning to undertake rigorous research into areas of historiographical interest and evaluate differing claims made about the past. By undertaking the course, students have the opportunity to develop an understanding of how the past influences the present and how the present influences our understanding of the past, while preparing them for active and informed citizenship in the contemporary world.
