Through History at both junior and senior levels, students gain a strong appreciation of the past and a foundation that supports further study and careers in areas such as law, politics, education, and journalism.

At Junior Cycle, emphasis is placed on developing historical consciousness, critical thinking and an appreciation of how evidence is used to construct an understanding of past events.

The study of History for Senior Cycle develops analytical and evaluative skills, strengthens written expression and prepares students for further academic study across a wide range of disciplines.
