Excellence in History and Humanities

Once again, Casuarina Senior College has demonstrated why it is the premier school in the Northern Territory for Senior History and Humanities.



The National History Challenge is an inquiry-based competition where students investigate a theme through research and analysis. This year’s theme, “Conflict and Resolution,” encouraged participants to explore historical issues and their broader implications.


Both Stage 1 and Stage 2 Modern History classes took part, showcasing the strong engagement and curiosity of CSC’s young historians.


Outstanding Student Achievements

Five CSC students reached the finals: Anabelle, Sarah Pagsanjan, Andreana Acuna, Kaitlin Barker, and Eryx Monsanto.



Among them, several students achieved top honours:

Their success in the National History Challenge reflects CSC’s continued focus on
critical thinking, academic excellence, and the pursuit of knowledge.
