History Department
"Whenever there is a global or national event of any significance, news media rush to describe and account for the causes. That is History. It is the memories of those who are dead but who still speak to their heirs. It is the wisdom of those who turn to look back in their journey forward."
Our department has:
- Four committed teachers, with successfully contrasting approaches to the subject.
- Achieved consistently high examination results, but more importantly has ensured an enduring enjoyment of the subject.
- Three specialist teaching rooms with digital projection and a broadband connection to the Internet.
- A well stocked departmental resource base supported by the school Library.
- A preference for active learning within the classroom.
- Field trips to appropriate destinations, including Carrick Castle, the Somme Heritage Centre and the Stormont Assembly buildings.
