Geography

COURSE CONTENT

The study of Geography allows students to explore, analyse and come to understand the characteristics of places that make up our world. Geographers are interested in key questions concerning places and geographic phenomena: What is there? Where is it? Why is it there? What are the effects of it being there? How is it changing over time? How could, and should, it change in the future? How is it different from other places and phenomena? How are places and phenomena connected? 

In this course, students explore the differences between hazards and disasters, and investigate the ways in which people respond to these. Students will also explore the characteristics of tourism and the impacts, issues and challenges that arise from the various forms of tourism. Finally, students investigate geographical change, focusing on changes to natural land cover and land use change characteristic to urban and rural environments.
