Geography teachers:

 * The **Geography Tip Sheets** for all levels have been updated - they are now labelled 2017. Thank you Jane Evans for this work!


 * **Summaries of all the internal geography standards** have been uploaded under __Achievement Standard Resources__. These are A3 sheets that draw together the standard itself, the Curriculum Achievement Objective the standard relates to, the Clarifications for that standard, the Conditions of Assessment for that standard and any relevant comment from Moderator Newsletters for that standard. Everything in one place and very handy to use when planning to write an assessment task.
