In Merlin College, geography is valued as a fundamental aspect of our student’s education towards developing an awareness and an understanding of how our planet functions, of how we can create a sustainable future to care for it, and of the people and cultures that live in it.

5th Year Geography went on a nature walk around our very own Merlin Woods as part of Geography Awareness Week 2022.

Along the way we found this beautiful Beech tree that was the inspiration for our art piece in the school canteen area!
