Year 11 Geography

Geography is the study of how people interact with their environment. Geography helps us to interpret the world and how it changes over time. Students will explore the relationships and connections between people and both natural and cultural environments. Geography investigates the ways in which features are arranged on the Earth’s surface and helps to understand and explain the patterns and processes that create them. 

Students will investigate a variety of geographic issues affecting today’s environments and societies. They will explore spatial distributions and global patterns through a range of contexts. They will have the opportunity to conduct geographic research by collecting data in the field, processing the results, reaching conclusions and critically evaluating their research findings. 

The themes covered in Year 11, 12 and 13 are from local, national and global settings.

Topics include:

• Geographic issues and decision-making: local, national and global
• Geographic research: Data collection and analysis
• Exploring spatial distributions and global patterns
