Year 10
The Year 10 program has been re-designed to best provide a springboard into Senior English studies. The program directly and explicitly engages students with the theory underpinning the Senior Syllabus, including the theoretical language requirements. The content of the course has also been augmented to include more challenging tasks, subject matter and conditions for assessment. The aim is not merely to provide a transition between Middle and Senior School studies, but to actually, in effect, function as a first year of Senior English.
Years 11 & 12
English is offered as an Authority Subject for students in Years 11 & 12, aiming to develop; their capacity to use language appropriately and effectively in a variety of social contexts; and their appreciation of language and its uses, with a particular emphasis on critical literacy.
English Communication, an Authority Registered subject, gives students the opportunity to increase their range of communication skills
