Year 10 Geography excursion
Year 10 Semester 2 Geography students have been studying river systems at various scales and what better way to learn than to see one of our local creeks in action. On Tuesday, 110 students embarked on an excursion to Gardiner's Creek in the southeastern suburbs. We started at the source of the creek in Blackburn, observing and discussing the changes in the environment over time. We followed the urban creek, which could be considered a concrete drain in parts, all the way to the confluence with the Yarra River in Richmond.
The students saw first hand the various management strategies used to control Melbourne's storm water and how this has impacted the natural environment and our local creek. They also made links to how their lifestyles can directly influence the quality Melbourne's waterways.
