HSC Geography
Students investigate the functioning of ecosystems, their value, the roles of natural and human stresses, and trends in global biodiversity.
About this excursion
The focus of this study is a geographical investigation of the functioning of ecosystems at risk, their management and protection. Students will participate in a 3 day case study and fieldwork of Alpine and Sub-Alpine ecosystems at Kosciuszko National Park to learn about.
- The nature and complexity of ecosystem functioning and global biodiversity
- The value of ecosystems and biodiversity
- The relationship between ecological and human stresses, and the vulnerability and resilience of ecosystems, including ecological integrity and biocapacity
- The global state of ecosystems and biodiversity
- Strategies for the sustainable management of ecosystems at a range of scales, including at least one successful conservation program
- The role played by Indigenous Peoples in contemporary management practices
In 2026, Riverina Environmental Education Centre will continue to only support regional, rural and remote schools with Stage 6 Geography Alpine excursions.
