KLA Feature - English

We celebrate the work undertaken by students in their Term 1 English units.  

Year 7 - Transition to High School English

Year 8 - The Power of Storytelling

Year 9 - Spoken Word Poetry

Year 10 - Rhetoric

Year 11 - Reading To Write

Year 12 - HSC Module A (Advanced & Standard)/ We Are Australian (Studies)

Highlights this term have included focusing on key English skills with Year 7, a West Words writing incursion with visiting authors for Year 8, and attendance by Year 12 Advanced students to a production of Shakespeare’s, ‘King Richard III’.  Writing tasks have seen most students compose in a variety of imaginative forms to explore thoughtful and interesting ideas.  Special mention and congratulations to the following students who participated in the CSDA Public Speaking Competition in late February/early March.  All produced and delivered speeches that were insightful and thought provoking.  They were admirably supported by Mr Nick Carozza (adjudicator) and Mrs Kerry Knight-Caetan in the competition rounds, and Mrs Cairns who attended the Grand Final to support our Year 9, 2nd place getter, Alyssa Darroch.
