Geography remains a dynamic and relevant subject as people comes to terms with the changes within our planet and how this impacts lives now and in the future. Students study how different resources are managed and evaluate sustainable solutions.

In addition, students study how volcanic processes create our maunga (Taranaki) and how natural and cultural process interact to have an impact on the sustainability of our awa (rivers) in the region. Finally, students will be able to explore different current case studies (inlcuding coral reefs and climate change) on how Geography is in the news and relevant for their future careers and ultimately, the future of our planet.
