In March all GT Online HASS students sat the annual Australian Geography Competition paper. The competition is a contest for Australian secondary school students which assesses geographical knowledge and skills and consists of multiple-choice questions. Outstanding students at each year level win prizes which include books and special certificates, and medals for first in Australia.
