Why study Geography

 at Garnock?

Geography helps you make sense of the world around you. It’s hands-on, exciting, and connects directly to the world we live in. Whether you’re curious about dramatic landscapes, passionate about tackling climate change, or keen to explore how people and places are connected, geography offers something for everyone.

In S3, you’ll dive into fascinating and important topics:

Health and Disease: Explore global health challenges by studying diseases like HIV, heart disease, and malaria, understanding their causes, impacts, and how they can be managed.

Climate Change: Investigate one of the biggest issues facing our planet, learning about its causes, consequences, and the steps we can take to create a sustainable future.

Glaciation: Discover the power of ice as you examine how glaciers shape our landscapes, from stunning valleys to rugged peaks.

We also hope to run more trips like the Higher trip to Arran, giving you the chance to connect what you learn in the classroom to real-world environments and experiences.

Not only will you deepen your understanding of these critical topics, but you’ll also gain transferable skills like problem-solving, critical thinking, and data analysis that can open doors to a wide range of careers. Geography is more than a subject—it’s your guide to understanding the past, navigating the present, and shaping the future.
