[Continuum]

I'm the same as you (hate history). There's a bunch of notes here though:

http://community.boredofstudies.org/129/year-10-school-certificate/48539/sc-useful-links-notes.html


Just get a bunch of them and make them all fit in together in your mind. I also used my history textbook for some extra information, as well as reinforce some stuff - or make it crumble in some cases. :mad1:

 

[0llie]

[Continuum]

Only topics 5 to 8, it says in the SC guide that you should have gotten (blue book thingy). For me, this is just everything I did in Year 10.

 

[fayeee]

OMG SIF!
OKAY....
thankyou.. LOL.

didn't know that

*doh* n00b.

i can breathe abit now i suppose...

What abt for Geo? Does anyone know?

 

[Continuum]

For Geography, it's Focus Area 5A3 (Issues in Australian Environments), Focus Area 5A4 (Australia In Its Regional and Global Contexts) and geography skills (like area and grid references). The geography skills one is really just logic and/or common knowledge though.

is there a site i can get this off?
Thankyou btw..

You mean the blue book thingy? You can get that off here:

http://www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/schoolcertificate/pdf_doc/sc2007_rules_procedure.pdf

It's fairly important that you read all of it, especially when they tell you what you need to bring. Ie, put stuff in a clear bag and blah blah blah.

 

[super-shinobi]

hmmm im pretty sure my teacher told us that there may be an essay about geoff whitlams withdrawal? or something on one of aus PM's since in one of the past papers you had to write an essay on that.

 

[Kujah]

It's everything that you've learnt this year so far.

Could be anything. Last year, the longer response was on the Vietnam War. Probabaly look for something that might be related to a PM (eg-Whitlam), Aboriginal Australians, Woman/Migrants, Australia's International links (eg-APEC, UNESCO, etc) or Australia's Cultural progression in the post-war period.

 

[super-shinobi]

Aww man I stink at History XD

But I'm doing Modern next year because I heard the Syllabus leads away from Aus history [which im totally sick about!] and is more interesting.

Definitely. For Year 11, we did the French, Russian, Indochinese and Industrial Revolution. We only spent 20 minutes on the Industrial Revolution 'cause its You also do the World at the Beginning of the Twentieth Century- the reasons that lead up to WWI.

But the course is much better in Year 12. We're doing WWI, Germany 1918-1939 and its rise under Hitler, Albert Speer and Conflict in the Pacific (WWII).

Depending on your teacher, you could do some aspects that relate to Australia, but its barely done. Some of the other topics you could do include:

National Study
Russia, China, USA, South Africa, Japan

International Study
Conflict in Europe (WWII-Would have loved to do this topic), Cold War, Arab-Israeli Conflict, something relating to Ireland, Conflict in Indochina etc

Glad to see you've chosen Modern!

Can anyone give me a quick run down on these policies so I don't have to go searching through piles of sheets lol? Thanks.

Assimilation
Integration
Protection
Reconciliation

Also would anyone happen to have any good links to sites with a lot of info on the stuff I should be studying for History?

 

[Kujah]

Assimilation:Cultural assimilation (often called merely assimilation) is an intense process of consistent integration whereby members of an ethno-cultural group, typically immigrants, or other minority groups, are "absorbed" into an established, generally larger community.

Integration: A policy which aimed to bring Aboriginal Australians into mainstream society and recognised recognised the value of Aboriginal culture and the right of Aboriginals to retain their languages and customs and maintain their own distinctive communities

Protection: A policy which aimed at "protecting" Aborigines in the early 20th century, but actually did the opposite. They were considered too "uncivilised" to take care of themselves, and required the white man to do it for them. Usually they were sent to missions.

Reconciliation: Reconciliation is the process of healing cultural divisions between non-indigenous and indigenous Australians.

Protection

This was the primary policy for handling Aboriginals ever since the 1850s. Aboriginals were seen as an undeveloped, primitive race that required the 'assistance' of the White Europeans. They were taken off their native lands and forced into reserves, forbidden from practising what they have been practising for generations and denied nearly all human rights.

Assimilation

This occured during the 1960s. In short, the Aboriginals were 'encouraged' to discard their Aboriginal culture and heritage and adopt the White European way of life. This 'encouragement' often took the form of Aboriginal adults being forced off their native lands and into towns. It was worse off for the children, who were often stripped from their parents and plased into mission camps/'schools' in order to be Europeanised. They suffered alot here, like in the Cootamundra Girls School (or was it camp? ), where they were given very little education, denied fundamental human rights and were often sexually abused.

Integration

This happened during the 1960s when the White Europeans realised that assimilation was not working, as Aboriginals were still clinging onto their culture. It aimed to allow Aboriginals to still have some of their Native cultures while participating in the greater community. It was a step in the right direction for the Aboriginals, assisted greatly by the Freedom Rides (I think) and marked by the 1967 referendum for voting rights and the right to be included in the census. They were given the fundamental human rights they have been denied for approximately 2 centures, were no longer seen as animals needed to be 'domesticated' and had atleast a sense of equality.

Reconciliation

The process of reconciliation began with the Whitlam government during the 1970s, where they were equal as all the other White Europeans. This period is characterised by the abolishment of anti-aboriginal laws and the general belief that the Aboriginals will choose the path that they take in the future.

Not sure if all of these points are right.

 

[Kujah]

Don't forget self-determination as well.

 

[unreal09]

Awesome, thanks for that!

edit: both of you!
