The English curriculum is built around three interrelated strands: language, literature and literacy. These three strands are assessed throughout the year by exploring different text types and genres. Throughout the years we will focus on enhancing students’ knowledge of English conventions while exposing them to a wide range of resources and reading material.

Throughout the year we expose students to a range of genres and text types. This includes persuasive writing, essay writing, news reports and feature articles, reviews, short responses and creative writing. Students are also exposed to a range of genres including realistic, fantasy, speculative fiction and science fiction. These texts represent a range of perspectives and expose students to issues and themes that affect the global community.

Our school is multicultural, and this is reflected in our English curriculum and the texts we explore. We engage with world issues and explore literature that our students can relate to.
