TERM 1 ENGLISH

As Term 1 comes to an end, it has been pleasing to reflect on the terrific start to the year made by English students and staff. Following on from the great success of 2018, our VCE staff have reflected on our Year 12 data to inform our direction for 2019, creating new resources and curriculum plans to further improve teaching and learning practices.

Students have enjoyed a range of extracurricular activities including performances of Romeo and Juliet at Year 10 and Extinction for Year 12 EAL. Our Year 7s have quickly immersed themselves in the McKinnon English program, making the most of their Book Buying sessions and engaging units undertaken in class. Book Club and Writer of the Month have also seen terrific student participation.

As we enter Term 2, students are encouraged to take advantage of the many opportunities provided to explore their passion of reading and writing. In particular, keep an eye out for an exciting new competition for the best spellers in the school.

Have a safe and productive break. Read critically, write freely.
