Develop the general intellectual capacity and generic skills needed for lifelong learning through geographical enquiry, and the ability to apply these in life situations;

Appreciate the wonder, interdependence and fragility of the local and global environment, and the importance of promoting sustainable development; and

Develop a sense of citizenship, a global outlook, and readiness to take action for the betterment of society, the nation and the world.
