Year 10 Geography - From Classroom to Coastline
Year 10 tackles Environmental Change and Management
St Paul's Year 10 Geography cohort traded timetables for tide charts, spending two immersive days putting their Environmental Change and Management theory into practice at Crescent Head Foreshore. They conducted longshore drift experiments, meticulously mapped dune transects, and collected vital microclimate data. This work allowed them to expertly identify natural landforms and analyse local human impact management strategies.
To complete the cycle of learning, the morning of fieldwork transitioned to a critical look at local infrastructure. The team visited the Crescent Head Sewerage Treatment Plant, where they received a warm welcome from the Council staff. This component provided crucial, real-world insights into the process of water treatment and sustainable resource management within the facility.
A huge thank you to Kempsey Shire Council for their continued support, turning geographical theory into unforgettable, hands-on learning experiences for our students. Thank you to Mrs Tess Meehan, Ms Kate Anderson, Mr Will Pollock, Mr Seamus Dempsey and Mr Darren Love for accompanying the students.
