Our Year 9 students enjoyed a wonderful day of learning outside the classroom with a field trip to Collaroy and Narrabeen Beach. As part of their Geography topic “Environmental Change and Management,” students had the opportunity to analyse the interactions and connections between people, places and the environment. They also assessed the management strategies of coastal environments and discussed how these strategies support long-term sustainability. With beautiful weather and engaging fieldwork activities, it was a fun and meaningful day of hands-on learning by the coast! ☀️🏖️
