National History Challenge Year 10

Our Year 10N students recently took part in the National History Challenge, a competition designed to engage Australian students in researching various historical topics. This year’s challenge encouraged students to explore world history, Australia’s past, local community history, or personal heritage.

The competition focuses on quality research, effective use of community resources, strong presentation skills and their ability to link to this year’s theme of ‘Crisis and Response’.

Our students applied these principles to their projects, contributing to a wide range of historical investigations including: Women’s history, rights and role in politics, the Vietnam War, Terrorism and 9/11, Batavia Shipwreck, the evacuation at Dunkirk, Covid-19 and other pandemics, Wartime propaganda and the Cold War. 

We commend our Year 10N participants for their efforts in challenging themselves and congratulations to the following students who were selected to be judged at state level – we look forward to sharing if any students are successful at state or national level:

Daniela, Charmaine, Miranda, Myra, Alana N, Alana A, Charley-Rose, Lana, Isabella, Alicia, Lily, Sophia, Niamh, Isabel, Neve, Stella, Kristen.
