AUSTRALIAN GEOGRAPHY BIG WEEK OUT

This year two CGS students, Thomas Lin and Nivedita Gawarikar (Year 11) , were selected to represent the Australian Capital Territory at the Australian Geography Competition’s ‘Big Week Out’ (GBWO). Selected students from each State and Territory participated in a fieldwork week in Darwin. The Geography Department and Canberra Grammar School are very proud of these two fine young ambassadors.

This is a reflection from Thomas and Nivedita:

GBWO 2022 was not just an ordinary interstate trip. We had the opportunity to participate in a range of fieldwork activities that were both novel, challenging, and unique to the school geography course. The real highlights were not just developing our geographical knowledge but making lifelong friendships and exploring Aboriginal Australian culture.
