L2 Geography

NCEA Level 2 Geography (2GEO)

Geography is a unique subject that develops students' ability to investigate and analyse their world. Students will develop a range of theoretical frameworks and practical skills that allow them to analyse primary data and secondary research. 

The students who take this course should be curious about the world around them. Students will learn about local issues, perspectives, as well as global topics, geographic skills such as mapping, and important geographic concepts. Students will complete an individual research assessment. Assessments in this course will include internal assessments as well as an external examination. This course will have both a natural and cultural lens throughout the topics which cover both local contexts and global contexts.

Geography is a hands-on subject where we engage in education outside the classroom and real world thinking.

Topics will be chosen on the needs and interests of the students.

Achievement Objectives:

Understand how the processes that shape natural and cultural environments change over time, vary in scale and from place to place, and create spatial patterns.

Understand how people’s perceptions of and interactions with natural and cultural environments differ and have changed over time.
