English

English study is mandatory in NSW from Kindergarten to Year 12. Students learn about the English language through written, spoken and visual texts of increasing complexity as they progress through their schooling. An understanding of the English language is central to how we communicate and essential for intellectual, social and emotional development. The study of English should develop a love of literature and learning and be challenging and enjoyable. It develops skills to enable students to experiment with ideas and expression, to become active, independent and lifelong learners, to work with each other and to reflect on their learning. Our English staff are highly experienced team and work collaboratively to provide quality learning opportunities for all students. They are committed to providing a diverse and differentiated curriculum to ensure that all students are engaged in a range of innovative and challenging learning experiences.
