Geography

Course summary

Geography helps us make sense of a complex and dynamic world. It explains where places are, how places and landscapes are formed, how people and the environment interact, and how a huge range of economies, societies, and environments are interconnected. Geography builds on students’ own experiences to investigate places at all scales from personal to global. Geography encourages critical thinking. Students learn to think spatially and use maps, images, and new technologies. Through geography, students explore their own place in the world, their values and their responsibilities to others, the environment, and the sustainability of the planet.
