Year 7 Geography

Year 7 Geography is visiting the Marrambidya Wetland today. The Marrambidya Wetland is a valuable community resource for educational, cultural and passive recreational activities. A stunning 20-hectare reserve located alongside the Murrumbidgee River only a few minutes from the Wagga Wagga city centre.

The wetland features a Wiradjuri Healing Place, with natural vegetation, seating area and hand-carved totem pole. The name was selected as the name of this special place to reflect the importance of this site to the local Wiradjuri people and to acknowledge the traditional name of the Murrumbidgee River. The site is also located between two Aboriginal place names, Gobbagumbalin and Wiradjuri Reserve.

Year 8 Geography

Year 8 students are studying a unit called Interconnections. This unit focuses on how we are connected to people and places around the world. Year 8 completed an Assessment Task looking at how tourism connects the community and the impact that it has on people and places.

Tomorrow, Friday 25 March all Year 8 will be attending Altina Wildlife Park to see the variety of animals from around the world they have at the park and learn about their conversation projects for a range of vulnerable, threatened and endangered species. We look forward to sharing more from this excursion in a future newsletter.
