Year 7 Geography students explore our busy city

Year 7 Geography students attended a fieldwork excursion to on 28 May, venturing to Miller’s Point, Milson’s Point and Lavender Bay. The girls participated in a range of fieldwork activities in order to investigate the factors which determine liveability in different suburbs, complementing their study of the unit ‘Place and Liveability’ in class.

Some of the fieldwork that students participated in included using noise meters, thermometers and light meters to survey the three suburbs and assess liveability. They also walked across the Harbour Bridge, where students saw differences in land use between south and north Sydney.

It was a fantastic day out, enabling students to put their theory into practice!
