Arrangements for students continuing study in this course

Students studying units in this course must study units that do not cover content previously studied as part of a History course in Years 11 and 12. Please refer to Duplication of Content rules below.

Duplication of Content Rules

Students cannot be given credit towards the requirements for a Senior Secondary Certificate for a unit that significantly duplicates content in a unit studied in another course. The responsibility for preventing undesirable overlap of content studied by a student rests with the principal and the teacher delivering the course. Students will only be given credit for covering the content once.
