Year 7 - Mapping our Neighbourhood

On Tuesday morning, two of the Year 7 classes began working on their Geography assignment “Mapping Our Neighbourhood”. Supervised by two teachers and enjoying a stroll on a sunny day, our Year 7 students sketched and mapped natural and cultural environments around the College in Queens Park.

Thank you to Ms Silva and Mr McGoorty for organising and delivering this learning opportunity for our Year 7 Geography students.

Field trip to Rockingham

On Friday 31 May Miss Pisconeri and Mr McGoorty’s Humanities and Social Sciences classes embarked on a Geography fieldwork trip to Rockingham, seeing firsthand the effects of erosional and depositional action on our coastline. The students completed a fieldwork booklet to be assessed, monitoring the effects of longshore drift, wave refraction, erosional landforms and depositional landforms. Students visited Warnbro Bay, Mersey Point, Penguin Island and Point Peron finishing up with lunch on the Rockingham Foreshore. With perfect beach weather, students enjoyed a hands-on experience learning about why our coastlines look the way they do. Thank you to Mrs Silva and Mrs Fitzgerald for accompanying us.
