Welcome to Geography in the Leaving Certificate


This is a website for the Geography students of the Presentation School, Wexford. This site is divided into sections to help you narrow  your search.  The chosen elective is the Human Environment and we chose the Geoecology optional unit.  All notes and sample answers are here to help you  revise for the final exam.

The 'downloadable powerpoints' section is for students to download different powerpoints and make their notes.  

All resources are now available for students and teachers alike.  We are constantly updating new information on a weekly basis.  If any teacher would like to share a power point or a sample answer we would greatly appreciate it so students can get a different perspective on each topic.


To all Leaving Cert students : Good luck!!
