  • enjoy and appreciate a range of texts, including Australian texts by Indigenous and non Indigenous writers
  • study closely a range of literary and non-literary works in English, in various types of texts, modes and mediums across diverse cultures and periods
  • interpret, analyse, evaluate, respond to and construct a wide range of texts through reading, listening, viewing, speaking, writing and shaping
  • make choices about generic structures, language, textual features and technologies to best convey intended meaning in the most appropriate medium and genre
  • control language (written, spoken/signed and visual) using grammar, punctuation, vocabulary and spelling.

English involves students in a range of speaking, reading, writing, listening and viewing activities to:

  • become independent, knowledgeable and critical users of language
  • become life-long learners
  • appreciate, enjoy and engage with texts ranging from popular culture to traditional literature
  • become critical thinkers.

Students will complete 4 assessment tasks per year:

Assessments from Year 7 will build student capability, creativity and analysis skills to ensure they are prepared for Senior English.
