NSW Geography teachers conference
Peter Hazell and Luke Peel presented at the 2021 Geography Teachers Association NSW & ACT Annual Conference held in Sydney during May, with Damon Gameau as the keynote speaker who linked in via Zoom.
Peter and Luke’s presentation on the first day covered theory and practical demonstrations with a focus on water and soil. While on the second day, Luke conducted a session for the advanced/senior teachers on Integrated Systems Thinking and how Geography is the key to student education relating to the Sustainable Biomes curricula.
Lorraine Chaffer and others at GTA NSW ACT have been very supportive of TMI over the years and actively encourage school groups to engage with us at Mulloon and undertake educational field tours. We actively welcome such groups and see the tours as an important and valuable way to help provide education in a field environment for better engagement and learning outcomes.
