Many thanks to the archivist and author Catriona Crowe who spoke to our Senior History and Politics students about the importance of primary source material for historical research.

Evidence based information is critical to mitigate the threats caused by the explosion of propaganda, misinformation and disinformation.

These skills help us to answer the essential question ‘How do we know what we know?’
