With the implementation of a ‘new’ History curriculum across Australian schools, many students and their teachers are being introduced to the Middle Ages for the first time. The implications of this intellectual focus have received very little direct attention, which begs the question of medieval history's perceived value to Australian society. By considering the subject's place within the wider curriculum and its grand objectives, this article conceptualizes its potential benefit to a modern Pacific nation. It is argued that medieval history holds a deserving place in educating Australian students, suggesting further its relevance and overall contribution to core national knowledge.
