Abstract The design of a school‐based geography curriculum presents opportunities and challenges for teachers in N ew Z ealand secondary schools. This article discussed the considerations that teachers need to make when developing a school‐based curriculum that is suited to the needs and interests of the students in their school and community. An example of a programme that has been developed to meet the needs and interests of students in a particular secondary school in C hristchurch, N ew Z ealand, was outlined.
