The study of
English uses a broad range of texts and learning activities to engage learners
to use, understand and develop their own texts and interact with language in
the wider world. Students of English can
expect to analyse texts and perspectives on real world issues and concepts and
to appreciate the use of language.
During the
study of English students will learn to:
engage in the modern world through a variety of texts and mediums
identify perspectives and support their own ideas and opinions
become critical thinkers and life-long learners of language, literacy and literature
An
English subject is compulsory throughout Years 7-12. From Years 11-12, students will have the
opportunity to engage in English Essentials, General English or Literature
For further
information and details about units studied, please see the school’s curriculum
handbook in further reading.
