Careers in Geography Week
We continue with our careers weeks taking place throughout the year and we recently saw our Careers Week in Geography. All of our Careers Weeks this year are linked to the Skills Builder Framework and Geography chose to focus on TEAMWORK. This is a significant skill that is imperative for success in a Geography related career. Students across all year groups had the opportunity to experience life as a crisis manager, geologist, and information coordinator dealing with the impacts of an earthquake that struck Nepal in 2015. Students had to work together as a team to decide on the best management of the hazard or situation that unfolds in real time as they moved through the lesson. Students had to be calm and focused as the responses of the Nepalese government is decided by their decisions. This provided students the opportunity to experience different careers using Geography and the importance of Teamwork.
