Geographical Fieldwork for Australian Schools
Geography is the study of the world around us, the natural processes and interactions of living and non-living things. Geography is also the way that people interact and manage the landscape and their place within it. It is vital that we respect and acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land, the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, who cared for and managed this landscape for tens of thousands of years. We pay respect to their elders past , present and emerging.
Many Geography teachers struggle to implement fieldwork at school. Fieldwork Connections helps teachers gain a deeper understanding of Geography through simple, accessible and meaningful fieldwork.
