Geographical Investigation Learning Journey: To allow our students to analyse a geographical issue through fieldwork and develop skills and attitudes to work individually and collaboratively.
Humanities Week: To immerse our students in activities that would provoke critical thinking of current affairs and develop empathetic understanding of real world issues.
