The term three excursion season in the Geography Department has finally come to a conclusion. We had the joy of taking out the boys currently studying Geography in both Years 8 and 10.

The Year 10 boys had a day at Long Reef and Collaroy Beaches, studying the impacts of humans on the coastal region. There are examples of good management practices and also some of poor decisions from the past that have left a legacy for which we are paying today.

The Year 8 boys were taken to the lovely bush setting of Camp Kedron at Ingleside, just past Frenchs Forest. They were given opportunities to observe, measure and record elements of the weather, light intensity, soil pH, wind speed and direction, tree height, water quality and identying tree species. The highlight was the massive one-claw Sydney Spotted Crayfish, caught during the day.

Ahh, so many wonderful experiences to be had on a bus trip thanks to the dedicated work of the Geography Department.

Geography is life!
