2009 is the first year of implementation. The first WACE examinations for Ancient History will be conducted in 2010.
The study of ancient history examines past societies ranging from the pyramid builders of the Old Kingdom in Egypt to the Roman Empire. Students develop skills in critical thinking through hypothesis testing and the analysis of various sources including artefacts, buildings, and written sources. They develop a critical understanding of how evidence may be manipulated and how perspectives of people and events are shaped by a variety of influences.
The materials on this public website include the course syllabus and the grade descriptor package. In addition, teachers can access sample teaching, assessment and examination materials on the Curriculum Council online learning and support extranet. ...Click here
