The study of Ancient History is an inquiry into past experience that helps make the present more intelligible. A study of the past is invaluable, for to be unaware of History is to be ignorant of those forces that have shaped our social and physical worlds. Through the study of Ancient History, students learn both about the interaction of societies and the impact of individuals and groups on ancient events and ways of life.

Ancient History Stage 6 has a unique role in the school curriculum because it allows students to study and analyse past societies with a detachment conferred by the perspectives of at least two millennia. It draws on a variety of disciplines and sources, both written and archaeological, such as literary works, coins, inscriptions, art, architecture, artefacts and human remains, enabling students to piece together an informed and coherent view of the past.
