Curriculum Statement
In Geography, students learn the way human society affects, and is affected by, the natural world. By studying Geography students become better citizens, understanding how to make responsible and sustainable decisions at the local, national and global scale, including how decisions are taken within a democracy.
Our planet is fragile; through the study of Geography at COLAHG students develop mastery of the skills necessary to be a top Geographer: they learn how to explain human and environmental processes by assessing and evaluating case studies, primary and secondary data, and maps. Through reading, analysis and discussion, students gain an appreciation for the natural world, as well as the difficult decisions human societies must take to adapt to a changing world. Our students will refine and develop this broad range of skills throughout their Geography studies at COLAHG. As a highly respected academic discipline, Geography opens up the path to many exciting careers, including in meteorology, climatology, broadcasting, civic planning and journalism.
