Geography 11–12 (2022)
Access resources to help you plan, program and assess Geography in Years 11 to 12.
Through a study of geography students learn about human interaction with their environments and the impact of, and responses to, environmental change.
Students will develop an understanding of a geographical perspective as they study:
- characteristics and spatial distribution of environments
- processes that form and transform the features and patterns of the environment
- global and local forces that impact on people, ecosystems, urban places and economic activity.
Students learn the skills of geographical investigation and communication through a process of geographical inquiry and propose actions for a just society as active and informed citizens.
