The theme for the 2011 NHC

The theme for 2011 is “Defining moments”. Students need to incorporate the theme in their research. More detailed information about the theme will be provided in the coming weeks. How important is the Theme?
 The theme is very important as it is around the theme that all entries must be centred, however, the theme is often conceptual rather than contextual, therefore students can with a bit of guidance and forethought apply the theme to a variety of contexts within their particular curriculum.
