Coding of Australian Curriculum Content

In History Extension, relevant Australian curriculum content for Ancient History and Modern History has been included in a range of case studies as appropriate. Australian curriculum content descriptions included in the syllabus are identified by an Australian curriculum code, for either Ancient History or Modern History, which appears in brackets at the end of each content description for example:

The different interpretations and representations of Cleopatra (from the ancient past to the present), including how Cleopatra represented herself in monuments and inscriptions; her portrayals as the enemy, a femme fatale, the saviour of Egypt, and a victim; and modern feminist representations (ACHAH071)
