World Olympiad Selection for King’s Geographer

Mr Cushen —

Peter Blaikie has been selected for the 2021 New Zealand Geography Olympiad Team to Istanbul, Turkey.

He gained selection after being shortlisted out of a very competitive field. 

Peter will be one of four team members to travel next August, COVID permitting, and take on the best Under 19 Year Old Geographers in the world. Close to 60 countries and over 200 competitors undertake written response, multi media and fieldwork tasks to gain points towards medals for their countries.

We congratulate Peter and wish him all the best for this prestigious selection.
