Level 1 Geography
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Mr D. Purdie.
Course theme: people and the environment. This is an introduction to Geography. Students will learn how the world's natural and cultural environments interact. The main topics covered will be human population, natural processes and land use. Three of the four available NCEA standards will will be assessed. This will require a broader understanding of the links between topics, which we hope will result in better learning outcomes for our ākonga.
There will be at least two, one day field trips based on the curriculum, which may include the topics of forestry and river quality, but these will be confirmed at the start of 2025.
