i know this year my DD y7 and DS y5 did some history in first term. They covered not only european settlement, but also what happened to the Aboriginals at that time. It made for interesting conversation - and we talked about the stolen generation etc. The first time I learnt anything of the atrocities that were committed against the aboriginal people was when I studied a literature unit for uni called Black and White, about seven years ago.

The Victorian curriculum is more about themes and concepts, rather than being content driven.
They don't learn a heap of dates, know the past prime ministers etc.
When we went to school, it was called 'narrative' style history - these are the facts, learn them and don't question.
In some schools, it comes under SOSE and some schools have separate history subjects.
