Overview

The study of history is about more than simply memorising dates and the deeds of famous figures. History is a chronicle of human behaviour - a real-life drama full of villains and heroes! It examines the circumstances that moved its players to transform people and places and it holds the answers to how and why our lives are fashioned the way they are today.
The History Department at CHS explores a range of time periods with an enquiry into the importance and relevance of significant events, actions and individuals.
