The new Geography syllabus for Years 9 & 10  involves the investigation of Australia's identity, its environments and its links with the rest of the world.

The Year 9 course covers:

*          Australia's geographical dimensions;

*          What makes Australia unique;

*          Australia's communities and how they are changing and;

*          Australia's physical environment and how it affects people.

The Year 10 course covers:

*          Contemporary geographical issues affecting Australian environments;

*          Case studies and fieldwork relating to these issues;

*          Australia's regional and global context and;

*          Australia's future and how to make it better.

Throughout the two-year Geography course:

 *          There is a further development of the practical skills of map reading and drawing, as well as the interpretation of various forms of  information.

 *          Fieldwork is undertaken as the opportunity arises, at local, metropolitan and more distant locations  thus providing first-hand experience and practice in

            geographical skills.
