The study of history is the study of the past. It is a sort of collective memory and the story of the past. History tells the tale of who we are, where we've come from, and perhaps most importantly, where we're heading.
Studying history is vital because it helps us to understand who we are and how the world works. Every subject and field has a history, including medicine, music, and art. Although if the outcomes of historical study are less obvious and immediate, knowing and understanding history is vitally necessary.
Shine Senior History Olympiad is designed in such a manner that it encourages us to avoid repeating the errors of our predecessors by assisting us in analysing the past and learning from it.
