National History Challenge

By Ms Jeanette Clayton, Head of History, Philosophy and RaVE

Year 12 student Alec recently submitted an essay for the National History Challenge. The title of the essay is 'Conflict and Resolution in Australian Democracy: The Case of Indigenous Land Rights.' In his essay, Alec explored the legal and political responses to Aboriginal land rights and the effect these have had on the nation’s evolving democratic identity.

This past Wednesday, 12 November, Alec attended the presentation ceremony at the Museum of Australian Democracy, Old Parliament House. There he received a Young Historian Silver award. Congratulations Alec!
