In the Year 11 Geography course, students investigate natural systems; people, patterns and processes; and human–environment interactions. They develop an understanding of the nature and value of geographical inquiry through planning and conducting a geographical investigation. Inquiry methodologies are used to investigate the unique characteristics of our world through fieldwork geographical skills and the study of contemporary geographical issues.
The Year 12 Geography course is structured to provide students with opportunities to develop and apply their understanding of the geographical concepts of place, space, environment, interconnection, scale, sustainability and change.
