Year 13 Geography

Geography is the study of te taiao (the environment) and the interconnections within; that is, how people connect with the land, and how the land connects with people. We consider the question: "What is Where, Why There, and Why Care?" to try and make sense of place. 

Students will learn to think spatially and to use maps, visually images, and inquiry processes to obtain, analyse and present information. Through being able to do these things, they will be able to use geographic thinking to develop understandings related to patterns, processes, relationships, interaction and change.

Skills that geography teaches ākonga (students) are:

- asking questions about te taiao

- collecting data using relevant methods

- visualising and analysing data using technology

- thinking critically and conceptually to make meaning about te taiao

- sharing understandings about te taiao
