North Head Sanctuary, located in the former School of Artillery near Manly, was opened to the public in May 2007 after decades of military occupation.

Featuring endangered communities of flora and fauna, a hanging swamp, sandstone cliffs and a complex of historical military buildings, North Head Sanctuary is an ideal location for HSIE site studies and fieldwork.

Geography students studying the Stage 6 topic Biophysical Interactions can participate in a program specifically designed to explore the biophysical interactions at North Head. This program allows students to participate in a series of hands-on experiential activities to gain experience in essential fieldwork skills.

Additional programs can also be tailored to meet the specific needs of teachers and students.
