Our 2025 Impact

Thank you for being an important and essential part of Victoria’s History teaching community, and for supporting what your association does in both big ways and small. Every contribution strengthens our mission to support History teachers, empowering them to help their students and schools thrive.

When we say 'HTAV', we mean all the people who become members, partake in professional learning, booklist our textbooks, mentor new teachers, write for Agora and generously share resources with colleagues across the state.

Below, you’ll find some highlights from the year. As you read through the numbers, we hope you’ll see yourself reflected in them. Whether you attended, contributed, mentored, shared or read, you were part of this collective story of 2025.

This year, because of you, HTAV has been able to:

• advocate for History students and teachers with state and national education authorities, and in the media
• provide curated resources and information for History teachers in twelve Member Bulletins, distributed to over 5,000 members
• support its members with professional learning events, including two conferences, two History Teaching Masterclasses and events for new and out-of-field teachers
• offer a day full of expert tips and advice for over 700 VCE students preparing for the exams
• bring together 37 History teachers under the HTAV Peer Mentoring Program, a record for the program
• publish three issues of Agora, the professional reading journal for History teachers
• support teachers and students around the state with HTAV textbooks and resources, selling 16,876 HTAV titles
• provide opportunities for members to extend themselves professionally by writing books and articles, presenting at events, undertaking leadership training, and coordinating History Month activities.

Your support, dedication and passion make all the difference – thank you for everything you do.
