COMPETITIONS

National History Challenge

The National History 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 can develop their research using a range of digital presentation styles including website building, podcasts, app development, film making, Minecraft, virtual reality or using a range of functional apps. The competition is free to enter and open to students in prep to year 12. Click here to find out more.
