In this elective, you will explore the common myths and legends of the ANZACs. You will expand your understanding of the global political influences that dragged Australia into the conflict and examine significant events and people of the war.

You will also examine the changing social landscape of Australia for Indigenous

Australians and for women and understand how the contributions of these people significantly enhanced Australia’s overall war effort. What were the lasting impacts of the war on all Australians and how has World War I influenced our lives today?
