English Pages on Smartsuite

Just a reminder that Smartsuite has English pages for our three subschools: VCE, Year 9 & 10, and Year 7 & 8.  These pages provide resources for all of the different novels and films that are studied in English. 

 

These can be accessed from the star menu on Compass: select Smartsuite.  Students logon with their Compass details. 

 

Students can access films, audiobooks, eBooks, study guides and contexual information for all of the titles studied.  Scroll down to view the High Ground page for Year 12.
