This year as part of their Humanities studies a group of Damascus College Year 8 students participated in the National History Challenge. Today at lunchtime teacher Ms Muirhead and Learning Area Leader Mr Macklin were thrilled to present certificates to those who have been selected by the school to progress to the state level of the competition.
The theme for the 2021 National History Challenge is Significance: History Matters. The Challenge is a research-based competition for students. It gives students a chance to be an historian, researching world history, examining Australia’s past, investigating their community or exploring their own roots. It emphasises and rewards quality research, the use of community resources and effective presentation.
Students taking part in the challenge can work in teams or as individuals and may present their work in a number of formats including an essay, 3D model, multimedia presentation, website or a performance piece.
Congratulations to Year 8 Humanities students Jesse Rallis, Tilly Palmer, Gretta Ashley, Mathilda Jones, Liam O’Beirne, Kara Johnson, Jack Sproull, Alyssa Birkett and Elli Wallace who achieved a “Young Historian Bronze” certificate for their work so far.
We look forward to seeing how you progress through the next levels of this National competition.
