History

I teach history to secondary school students here in New South Wales. The classes range from Year 8 through to Year 12. Historical eras taught include that of the ancient Egyptians, the Aztecs, the Middle Ages, the Australian Aborigines and recent Australian history. Resources and links for each year group taught can be found below or in the right margin.

One of the first web sites that I created was focused upon the wartime experiences of my father, Francis Xavier Larkin Snr. He was a signaler in the AIF 2/19th Battalion. My father was captured by the Japanese during the battle of the Muar in January, 1942.



Following that he was interned in prisons and camps in Malaya, Singapore, Thailand and Japan. My dad managed to survive the war. You can explore the photographs, letters, maps and documents relating to my father's experiences at the web site simply entitled, Prisoner of War.

Recently I have created a few web topic specific sites for my students. Over time I hope to expand this aspect of my web site. Some of these sites include:
