From Year 11 investigations to the HSC core study and electives, sessions focus on reading sources critically, building a clear historical argument and writing extended responses that meet NESA criteria.
Modern History rewards students who can analyse sources, weigh different perspectives and sustain a clear argument under time pressure. Most students losing marks know the content but describe events instead of explaining and evaluating them.
