NCEA Level 3 Geography

Level 3 Geography has two distinct aspects: external examination topics and Internal assessment.  Successful completion of all internal assessment opportunities will satisfy the University Entrance requirements of 14 credits in an approved subject.

The external examination topic is focused on tourism development in Rotorua.  You will learn why and how Rotorua grew to be a premium destination for thousands of tourists  from both international and domestic markets.  There is a possible three day trip to Rotorua.

Internal assessment topics will be developed from student interest in global issues.  These are generally research based topics.  Topics previously investigated have been:  ocean plastics,  changing weather patterns,  COVID 19,  human trafficking,   pressure on NZ's Great Walks.
