New Geography

This digital Geography text book is designed for Year 10 students in the Senior School, with the focus on environmental change and management. There is considerable coverage of human-induced changes to various environments and their impacts upon sustainability.  It also includes an examination of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island methods of environmental management and traditional practices. Some examples of environmental change are considered using a human-environmental systems approach while others like coastal, inland and urban environments are looked at through a field work approach. It complies with the requirements of the new National Curriculum, emphasizing the two main strands (Knowledge and Understanding; Inquiry and Skills) whilst addressing the cross curriculum priorities.


The book offers students and teachers a range of interesting geographical topics whilst using 21st Century learning experiences. Activities are designed to promote inquiry learning and encourage team and collaborative investigation. There are also a number of revision questions and an interactive review quiz at the end of the chapter.
