Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mr A. Collier.

Studying Geography will give you the chance to learn more about our world. You will learn more about the different types of landforms including volcanoes, oceans, rivers, mountains, and glaciers. You will discover how extreme natural events such as flooding, wildfires, tsunamis, and tropical cyclones affect people's lives in different locations around the world and discriminate against the poor. As part of this course, there will be a field trip to see some of the landforms that make our local environment unique. 

This course is part of the Social Sciences Curriculum and if chosen will be one of your PART A selections.

Costs
The Board of Trustees has again asked to opt into the Ministry of Education donation scheme. Doing so resulted in the ability to waive student fee donations. Kaiapoi High School aims to deliver quality educational courses over and above those that which is funded by the Ministry. It is likely the School will opt into the donation scheme for 2024, however parental contribution for the costs of trips and activities where participation is optional, and/or components not covered by the Government grant, may be requested. We appreciate the financial support our families make to the School.
