"The study of geography is about more than just memorising places on a map. It's about understanding the complexity of our world, appreciating the diversity of cultures that exists across continents. And in the end, it's about using all that knowledge to help bridge divides and bring people together"
Barack Obama

Welcome to your induction session...
Welcome to your induction session...
For your induction, we will complete the session focused on the bigger picture of IB Geography, developing the IB learner profile traits of being open-minded, inquirers and thinkers. The session is outlined in the slides below. The focus on questioning will then feed into your Summer Project which will be used by your teachers as their first form of assessment in Module 1. Should you need help at any stage, please contact Mr Walker (benjamin.walker@wilmingtonacademy.org.uk) and email your summer projects by Friday 12 September 2025. Completed projects should be emailed to: benjamin.walker@wilmingtonacademy.org.uk.
