Level 3 Geography

Get set for an epic Year 13 Geography adventure where the real world is your classroom!

In this course, you drive the learning. Choose a contemporary geographic issue that fires you up — from climate impacts to urban inequality — and explore it for your first internal. Then unleash your inner tech whizz with ArcGIS, manipulating digital maps to crack a crucial problem: where on earth will the students park?!

You’ll also head out to Muriwai Beach to investigate coastal processes first-hand, conducting your own geographic research to understand how waves, wind and human activity shape our stunning coastlines.

For your externals, you’ll dive into the cultural process of tourism development in Rotorua — maybe even on an overnight trip to experience it for yourself — and hone your geographic skills to apply powerful concepts to real-world patterns and issues.

Along the way, you’ll debate, create, problem-solve and see just how much geography connects to our lives here in Aotearoa and beyond. Nau mai — come join us, and make your final year of geography your best yet!
