They will then undertake a depth study of World War II with a focus on Australia's contributions, perspectives and experiences of the war in both the European and Pacific Theatres. The will reflect on the causes and diverse experiences in relation to the Holocaust.

In the economics and business domain (a lead in to Business management and accounting in higher levels) students will explore more deeply the world of work, such as setting up a tax file number and superannuation fund, and the role that Centrelink plays in the economy.
