Year 10 Geography

On Tuesday 27 February, Mr McGoorty and Ms Silva’s Year 10 Geography classes went on an excursion to Point Peron, Rockingham as part of our studies of coastal processes and management. The excursion was an excellent opportunity to put the knowledge of what we had learned and discussed in the classroom into practice.

Some of the sights we visited included: Cape Peron, Warnbro Sound, Mersey Point, and Longreach Bay. At each site, we studied coastal landforms and rock formations and looked at the strategies put in place to sustainably manage coastal environments. A particular highlight was the walk trail around Point Peron itself and climbing the stairs to the lookout to observe Shoalwater Bay, Rockingham, Mangles Bay and beyond. The weather was a bit cold and windy in the morning, however, as the day went on the temperature warmed up and we had a perfect afternoon for conducting our fieldwork. We concluded the day with lunch at Rockingham foreshore and this was a great way to end a good day out. The Year 10 Geography classes would like to thank Ms Silva and Mr McGoorty for organising the excursion and Ms Pisconeri and Ms Hyland for attending and helping out on the day.
