Our Stage 5 Geography “Urban Newcaste” excursion explores the Changing Places curriculum. The Year 10s on today’s tour said a highlight was meeting skateboard shop owner(s) Adam and Butter the dog from Laate.

We talked all things urban change including urbanisation push and pull factors, urban renewal projects such as Museum Park, and livability and accessibility for the public including skateboarders.
