Year 13's Geographical and Scientific Journey at Bach Ma National Park

Embarking on an unforgettable three-day journey, our Year 13 students set out on a joint Geography and  IB Environmental Systems and Societies (ESS) trip to Bach Ma National Park in Vietnam.

Their mission? To dive deep into the captivating world of data collection, exploring the critical aspects of geography and science along the magnificent Ta Thach River. This adventure was a crucial step towards fulfilling the demanding requirements of their IB internal assessments.

As they explored the park, our students were captivated by its natural beauty. Trekking through the lush rainforest, they discovered stunning waterfalls, encountered diverse wildlife, and enjoyed breathtaking mountaintop views. Their curiosity extended to the park's mangroves, where they studied the intricate river systems and compared environmental systems within and beyond the park. Year 13s diligently collected data on river flow, sediment, and biodiversity, gaining a deeper understanding of how these ecosystems thrive. In their quest for knowledge, they also examined the health and sustainability of the mangroves in the face of human influence. They marvelled at the unique flora and fauna, collecting valuable data that contributed to our understanding of these remarkable habitats.
