Key Objectives:
- To look at teaching styles, resources and content to allow the transition from Prep School Geography to Senior School Geography to be a positive and enjoyable experience.
- To allow an exchange of ideas by the delegates on resources, teaching ideas and methods that allow them to give prep schools children to both enjoy their geography experience and become confident geographers.
