Geography

“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 exist across continents. And in the end, it's about using all that knowledge to help bridge divides and bring people together.” — Barack Obama

Geography provides students with an understanding of the world and speaks directly to young people’s curiosity, wonder and concern for the world around them. Geography enables students to contextualise many of the important events happening in a world that is changing more rapidly than ever and understand their vital role as global citizens. Geography is much more than a list of content. It is a viewpoint and way of making sense of the world by examining the links between different patterns and phenomena. An understanding of Geography helps students to understand the complex relationships between human and natural systems and how they work together. A geographical understanding also enables students to live in harmony with others, share responsibility for the well-being of the planet, and aims to ensure that they are morally and ethically aware and able to develop their own values and potential as citizens in the 21st Century.
