Level 1 Geography 2025

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: James Hart.

This course is very focused on real life issues, problem solving and the development of a range of skills and knowledge that will provide students with a wide range of employment opportunities. Early in the year we examine a global study of tourism and its environmental impacts. As we move through the year, we look at geographic decision making in the New Zealand / Pacific region.  Lastly, we undertake geographic investigation into our local environment.  We visit Milford beach and test the level of pollution for an environmental report.
