Respect matters: 7-10 History

Explore content

In History, students gain an understanding of human experience and learn to appreciate the perspectives, beliefs and values of people in the past and present. They develop empathy, communication, team work, and advocacy skills. Students develop an understanding of the diverse values, actions and motivations of people in the past and how these may account for, or be different from, present social standards, expectations, attitudes and behaviours. They develop an ability to contribute to their communities through sharing, listening to, exploring, analysing and respectfully responding to their own and others’ points of view.
