From The Classroom

Year 10 Geography Trip to the Tip

Year 10 Geographers completed their Fieldwork studies at the Environmental Learning Facility in South Grafton on Wednesday and Thursday of week 4. The annual “Trip to the Tip” once again proved to be a conversation starter and eye-opener to a number of students as they discovered the impact of waste on the environment and effective waste management processes used in the Clarence Valley. Students further developed their geographical skills in observation, data collection and communication on the day.

As part of the Year 10 course, students will complete further research on waste management at a state and national level and complete a Fieldwork Report to complement their studies in Environmental Change and Management. Our sincerest thanks to Suzanne Lynch and the Clarence Valley Council for their expertise and guided walk, educating not only our students but the wider community in the sustainable management of our waste!
