Summary

Geography is the study of physical and cultural environments from a spatial perspective. It provides students with the knowledge and skills to observe and describe places on the surface of the Earth, and from a spatial perspective analyse and provide explanations on human and physical phenomena and their complex interactions. They develop a range of skills that help them to understand the physical world, interpret the past, scrutinise the present and explore sustainable strategies for the future care of places.
