Welcome to Maryhill High Media Arts College Geography Department
Geography at Maryhill High School
“Geography is everywhere, so everyone should know about it.” Geography is all around us and is relevant to all our lives. The main aim of studying Geography is to develop an understanding of the big ideas and events that shape the world. Geography enables pupils to become successful learners who have an understanding of issues at different scales and who can make sense of the world around them. Many of the issues studied in Geography are linked to other subjects, such as Climate Change, the economy and ecosystems. Through the study of Geography, pupils will gain important knowledge and understanding to help them deal with situations and issues in the future.
Geography at Maryhill High School aims to provide a rich and varied curriculum, which is both relevant to pupils’ lives and geographical issues in the 21st Century. It aims to inspire a sense of awe and wonder and pupils will be able to make sense of the rapidly changing world around them, understanding their place within it.
In addition to learning geographical skills, such as analysing data and the use of GIS, pupils will also develop their Personal Learning and Thinking Skills enabling them to become
