Year 8 Geography Excursion

On Friday 9th of August Year 8 travelled to Bundeena for a field work excursion.

They walked along the coastal track in Sydney’s beautiful Royal National Park and discovered a range of natural environments along the Eastern coast. They then embarked on a walk to the iconic Wedding Cake Rock, along the way students located and assessed the various features and characteristics of natural landscapes and examined how such landforms were formed over time.

Students used an array of geographical tools including quadrats, field sketches, maps, graphs, statistics, images, anemometers and temperature gauges, as part of their fieldwork.

Students also had an opportunity to design their own eco-friendly esplanade and analyse ways to improve and minimise human impact on the surrounding environment.
