Elective Geography

ELECTIVE GEOGRAPHY

Students who enjoy Geography and desire to develop a broader understanding of the world we live in may wish to choose Elective Geography. Students who undertake this course will receive a grade for Geography (Elective) as well as a grade for Australian Geography (Mandatory).

Elective Geography enables depth studies drawn from a variety of focus areas as shown below:

Through flexible programming, students are able to study content within these focus areas that matches their interests. This may range from human rights issues and undertaking missions to Geographical inquiry practical applications through field work and the study of landforms.

The content will NOT overlap with the Mandatory Australian Geography Course and will provide students with the opportunity to study both the spatial and ecological dimensions of our world.

This course also provides an excellent foundation for students interested in continuing their Geography Studies in Years 11 and 12. Above all, it enables students to learn more about their Creator, to develop a Christian perspective on geographic issues and identify their responsibilities as Christians in a rapidly changing world.

Elective Geography is highly recommended for any student intending to enrol in Geography in Years 11 and 12. Studying Elective Geography in Years 9 and 10 will provide a better understanding of fundamental concepts and content necessary for the senior course and will improve student HSC results.
