Mission

Geography is distinctive in its study of the spatial distribution and interaction of physical and human elements in the environment.  Its integrating approach enables students to have a balanced view of their own and other environments on a scale which they can see and understand.

    Through a study of geography, students should become aware of a range of issues and problems on a variety of scales from the local to the global which they are able to evaluate objectively.  Geography encourages students to observe, ask questions and seek answers.  They should develop a wide range of skills and techniques concerned with collection, organization, presentation, interpretation and evaluation of information about the world.  They should be aware of the need for, and be committed to, responsible action where aesthetic and moral questions arise in relation to the maintenance of a balanced environment.
