About Geography
The Sydney
Distance Education High School offers Geography for Years 11-12 and Years 7-10.
Stage 5 Mandatory Geography
The Fieldwork Task undertaken in Stage 5 Mandatory Geography develops
essential skills which are later refined and built upon in the Senior Geography
Project (SGP).
Stage 5 Elective Geography
The Elective course includes five focus areas, any two of which are selected
for study. Environments at Risk, World Political Geography and Development
Geography provide a sound basis for topics in Geography Stage 6. Not all
students will have undertaken the Elective course of study in Geography.
Stage 5 Science
The Science Stages 4–5 Syllabus has prescribed content about the nature
and functioning of the biophysical environment and the implications of
scientific processes on humans and the environment. These ideas and
concepts complement the subject matter contained in the Geography Stage 6
Syllabus.
Geography is an investigation of the world which provides an accurate description
and interpretation of the varied character of the earth and its people. It is a key
discipline through which students develop the ability to recognise and understand
environmental change and the interactions which take place in our world.
