Geography allows students to develop an enjoyment of, and interest in, the interaction of physical and human environments.
Students will develop geographic knowledge, understanding, skills, values, and attitudes in order to engage in the community as informed and active citizens.
What will students learn about?
Global geography consists of four focus areas in which students learn about the geographical processes and human interactions that shape global environments. They also learn about geographical issues and responses to them, including appropriate methods of citizenship for their management.
Students of Australian geography learn about the interaction of human and physical geography in a local context. They examine Australia's physical environments and communities and explore how they are changing and responding to change. Students also look at Australia's roles in its region and globally, and how individuals and groups are planning for a better future. An important feature of the Australian geography course is to allow students to become more informed and active citizens.
