Presented by Ben Archer
Teachers will learn how to address university entrance concerns, demonstrate geography’s role as a gateway subject that complements other HSC choices, and connect HSC geography to in-demand career fields. The session will provide ready-to-use scripts for common student objections and strategies for positioning geography as a strategic academic choice rather than a backup option.
