It has been another productive term in the English faculty, with all year groups completing high quality learning experiences. 

Our new Year 12 students have started their HSC courses with enthusiasm. It has been wonderful to see many students reading their prescribed text during the study breaks in and around the school. The classes have been preparing well for their first assessment task in Week 11. It is important that Year 12 students use the summer holidays to reflect on the first unit of work, and read their texts for their upcoming modules. 

The English faculty was impressed with the positive attitude and engagement displayed by Year 10 during the Taster Lesson week for the Stage 6 Preparation Program. Year 10 students were provided with an opportunity to experience English Advanced, Standard and Studies style lessons. They are now encouraged to reflect and decide which course suits them best. 

Year 9 students have been analysing how we are manipulated by the media and have been producing effective and humorous advertisements of their own. Year 8 classes have been refining their visual literacy skills, while Year 7 students have spent the term flexing their dramatic capabilities while studying The Honey Spot. 

In a year of twists and turns, we would like to thank the students and wider school community for their perseverance and commitment to learning. Have a happy and safe holiday break. 

See you in 2022!
