History

All Saints History encourages all learners to have a better awareness of their world, identity and culture through developing a rich understanding of the past. By building a broad foundational knowledge, students become informed, empathetic citizens who are able to participate positively in society. We want our students’ intellectual curiosity to be inspired by the storied history of the people and events of the area they live in.

How is History a sacred subject?

History encourages all learners to discover the truth of the past and to have a deep understanding of the present, which in turn will enable them to make informed and wise decisions for creating a better future. History helps students find their place in the story of humankind. Students are helped to develop critical thinking skills as they delve into the rich variety of available sources. Learning to analyse and critique information encourages the ability to discern facts and reach conclusions, matching the evidence with truth. Learning from the past helps to facilitate a better future for the common good of all God’s people.
