Geography lectures at Woy Woy

The NSW Geography Teachers Association has held student lectures for HSC Geography students from the Hunter and Central Coast area on Thursday, June 14, at Brisbane Water Secondary College Woy Woy Senior Campus.

"It was the most successful lecture day held in terms of student participation with 86 students attending from both State and private schools," College head teacher Mr Russell Wyeth said.

"The program started at 9.30am and concluded at 3pm.

"All aspects of the HSC stage 6 Geography course were covered including examination techniques, study methods, preparation strategies and time management techniques.

"All geographic skills were addressed, as outlined in the syllabus, along with the three core areas of urban places, ecosystems at risk and people and economic activity.

"Students were given handouts for each of these topics which should give them an edge over other candidates for this year's examination on Friday, October 26, at 2pm.

"Each of the presenters were highly experienced, being HSC markers, University Lecturers and / or textbook writers.

"The information delivered by each of these presenters was first class with highly detailed notes directing the students toward explicit sample studies that should enhance their extended responses and therefore assist them in their goal to achieve a Band 6 result.
