Milena's project wins prize!

Senior Geography

For the first time,  Cecil Hills High School participated in the GTA (Geography Teachers' Association) NSW Arthur Phillip Fieldwork Competition by entering a selection of Senior Geography Projects from the 2017 Year 11 Geography cohort. The Senior Geography Project is a large body of work that has a focus on geographical inquiry and its application to a practical research project. Year 11 students spend time over three terms completing their individual projects.

On 9 April,  I had the privilege of attending the NSW Geography Teachers' 2017 Award Ceremony for outstanding students in Geography across NSW. Congratulations to Milena Cugalj (Year 12) who was awarded 3rd place in Brock Rowe Senior Geography Fieldwork Award for her Year 11 Senior Geography Project for 2017.

Milena’s project investigated traffic congestion at the intersection of Cowpasture Road and Frederick Road, Cecil Hills and the safety of the area for pedestrians. This is an outstanding state-wide achievement and well deserved by Milena.
