 English Captains  Report

It has been an exciting start to Term 2....

 

Year 8 Tutoring

Once a week, Mr Meldrum meets with a few students during one of their English periods to help improve their reading, spelling, grammar and comprehension skills. 

 

It really helps students to feel more secure with their English skills and keeping them in their core English classes at the same time, helping them still feel included with the rest of their class. 

Year 10 ALP

The Year 10 ALP class has just started working on English Language. They were very involved in class discussions and keen to ask questions about VCE English. 

 

Year 8 Core English

The Year 8's have started work on their Significant Person Projects, which is a collaboration with Arts and Language. 

 

Students will be presenting their pieces in a ceremony at the end of the term. We look forward to seeing the results.
