History

How is History a sacred subject?

History encourages all learners to discover the truth of the past and to have a deep understanding of the present, which in turn will enable them to make informed and wise decisions for creating a better future. History helps students find their place in the story of humankind. Students are helped to develop critical thinking skills as they delve into the rich variety of available sources. Learning to analyse and critique information and data encourages the ability to discern facts and reach conclusions, matching evidence with truth. Learning from the past helps facilitate a better future for the common good of all God's people. 

The intent of our History curriculum is to ignite pupil’s curiosity about the past; history has had an impact on the lives and experiences of everyone alive today, our world and society has been shaped by significant people and events of the past. If children have a good understanding of cultural,  national and international history, then this helps them to understand and create their own and shared identities. Children at St Roses Infants and St Cuthbert Mayne Juniors will develop their historical skills, knowledge and concepts and will increase their knowledge and understanding of the present, in the context of the past. They will develop their skills in enquiry, analysis, evaluation and critical thinking.
