We are a voluntary organisation with an executive membership of Primary and Secondary History Teachers, Academics and Educationalists.

Our aim is to foster an interest in History and the teaching of History, but especially to support and assist History teachers in Queensland.

Our website provides information on the available competitions for students and teachers, as well as available professional development, resources and upcoming events.

The theme of this year’s conference is “What is History in the Twenty-First Century?” and aims to challenge teachers to think about the Discipline of History and what it means to be History Teachers, and so to develop our capacity to deliver effective and meaningful learning experiences in Queensland classrooms.

Premier's Anzac Prize 2014
Queensland students in Years 8-11 are encouraged to apply for the Premier's Anzac Prize 2014. Entries open on Monday 8 July, with a trip to the Western Front and Gallipoli for Anzac day 2014 as the major incentive. Students are encouraged to research and prepare a multimedia submission addressing how the Anzac tradition shaped our nation, why it is still important, and how future generations can continue to keep it alive. Entries close Friday 20 September. For more information visit the Premier's Anzac Prize website at http://education.qld.gov.au/students/grants/scholarships/premiers-anzac-prize.html
