Excellence In Geography – national prize winner

I am thrilled to announce the most exciting news. Louise Thill from Year 8 has won equal First in NSW in this national Australian Geography Competition.

The Australian Geography Competition is completed by thousands of students from hundreds of Australian schools.This competition is highly regarded as it tests both geographical knowledge and the application of skills and the use of maps, graphs and geography stimulus. It is an initiative of the Royal Geographical Society of Queensland and sponsored by the University of Melbourne, University of NSW, Western Sydney University and the University of Western Australia.

The highest-scoring geography student in each State and in the combined Territories (ACT, NT and the External Territories) receive a prize and award certificate to celebrate their excellence and exceptional achievement. Congratulations Louise Thill!
