Mr Charles Biddle and Nicola Ross led the Year 11 students to Busselton where they performed transects and investigate the effects of monoculture, invasive species, human interference, and conservation strategies. They also visited Ngilgi Cave.
What an amazing experience for them.
Brendon Quick and his Year 12 Geography class headed to the city to investigate the use of space in Perth’s Central Business District (CBD). Students had the opportunity to investigate the use of this space. Students were also given a tour of the construction area relating to the new Perth City Link. They were able to determine and analyse the upcoming changes to the area. Afterwards, the staff and students walked to Northbridge, where they continued to investigate the use of space within Perth’s Inner Mixed Zones (IMZ).
Interaction with the urban development is essential to Year 12 Geography and students enjoyed taking the skills they learned in the class room to the practical areas of the CBD and IMZ.

Originally declared as a conservation reserve in 1898, John Forrest National Park is WA’s oldest national park. It became John Forrest National Park in 1947, in honour of the famous explorer and statesman, Sir John Forrest, who was Premier of Western Australia between 1890 and 1901.
The students were inspired by the surroundings and had a creative time.
