NCEA Level 1 Geography

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mr H. Whipp.

Geography equips students with the skills to interpret the world in which they live. They have the opportunity to apply geographic learning outside the classroom; use maps, images, and emerging digital technologies to obtain, present, and analyse information; investigate places at all scales, from the personal to the global; take part in fieldwork days enable students to develop research and analysis skills in an authentic environment.

We will be studying the global distribution of surf breaks, the natural processes of the Tongariro Environment and their impact on people, various Pacific geographic challenges and researching pollution of the Wairau Creek.

There will be a day trip to Raglan and a local field trip to collect data for our research.

Rosmini College's timetable is student-driven and a new timetable is generated each year based on student subject selection. Unfortunately, while we do our best to avoid them, timetabling clashes may still occur and a few students may be required to choose an alternative subject option.

The 2025 timetable, including the number of classes in each subject and staffing allocations, is created based on student selections made in 2024. Because of this, changing subjects at the beginning of 2025 may not be possible. Please, make your subject choices carefully.
