Level 2 Geography

Embark on a hands-on, eye-opening adventure in this exciting Year 12 Geography course!

You’ll get out of the classroom and into the heart of Tāmaki Makaurau on a one-day field trip, where you’ll investigate whether Auckland’s public spaces truly work for its people — designing and conducting your own research to uncover the answer. You’ll also dive into a contemporary geographic issue tied to climate change, exploring how this global challenge plays out in local contexts.

Get tech-savvy with ArcGIS, learning to manipulate digital maps to identify (with scientific precision!) the perfect selfie spot on Mt Tongariro for one of your internals. Then journey across the globe to Tanzania, comparing differences in development and what shapes the lives of communities there.

Throughout, you’ll sharpen essential geography skills — from interpreting complex data to constructing powerful arguments — preparing you for success in your external assessments.

If you’re keen to understand the world, think critically about big issues, and learn how geography connects people, places, and planet, nau mai — this is the course for you!
