  • Publishing journals and other material concerned with geographical matters and with the teaching of geography

  • Sponsoring or assisting research projects in matters concerned with the teaching of geography
  • Cooperating with affiliated associations, with overseas organizations or teachers of geography, with other geography associations and with other associations of teachers within South Australia and Australia
