NCEA Level 2 Geography
Course Description
Geography develops our understanding of social and physical processes within the context of places and regions - recognising the great differences in cultures, political systems, economies, landscapes and environments across the world, and the links between them.
Geography provides an ideal framework for relating other fields of knowledge and fosters many transferable skills relevant to the demands of the modern workplace.
We will be studying the global pattern of Maritime Piracy, the urban pattern of Murder in Chicago, differences in development between Afghanistan and the USA, and Geographic Skills and you will carry out Geographic research.

Disclaimer
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.
