The Geography department is well equipped for a variety of teaching and learning practices, both within and outside of the classroom.  The classroom has an interactive whiteboard which allows for more dynamic class presentations, involving text, diagrams, photographs and illustrations.  The whiteboard is also connected to a hi-fi system which creates a home theatre environment when viewing DVDs.
