Welcome to the Junior Cert Geography Course



This site is for all students of Geography in the Presentation Secondary School, Wexford.

In 2013 we chose to start our First year students on the Educate.ie E-book "Geography in Action".  

Our continuing Second and Third year students are studying "New Complete Geography" by Charles Hayes (4th Edition).  


Therefore this site is divided up depending on which textbook the powerpoints refer to.  

Chosen textbooks:
