Geography

Year 9 Geography students are studying biomes.  We are focusing on how farmers and communities in particular biomes around the world produce and secure their food crops.

Today we spent our lessons listening and asking questions of Mr Callum Burbery, Mount Alvernia’s resident horticulturalist.  Students inquired on the value of La Foresta, and discovered how Brisbane’s climate dictates the type of native and exotic seasonal plants grown in La Foresta.

This was a fantastic learning opportunity for the girls.  Here are some images of students in amongst the various native and exotic plants, shrubs, and trees.  Callum is an amazing resource.
