πŸŒΏβ›°οΈ Exploring Geography Beyond the Classroom! β›°οΈπŸŒΏ

Our Year 12 geographers have completed the final fieldwork visit of the year, with a fantastic trip to College Valley in the heart of Northumberland National Park.

This was the fourth field trip of the year, giving ...students another opportunity to apply their classroom learning in a real-world environment. From studying the physical landscape of the valley to developing valuable fieldwork and data collection skills, it was a day packed with learning and discovery.

A huge thank you to the brilliant staff at College Valley for their expertise, enthusiasm and support throughout the visit. Most importantly, our students represented Park View superbly and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

Learning doesn't stop at the classroom door. πŸŒπŸ“š
