English

English study is mandatory in NSW from Kindergarten to Year 12.

Students learn about the English language through written, spoken and visual texts of increasing complexity as they progress through their schooling.

An understanding of the English language is crucial in how we communicate, and is essential for intellectual, social and emotional development.

The study of English should develop a love of learning literature while being challenging. It enables students to experiment with ideas and expression,becoming active, independent and lifelong learners. It also allows students to work with each other and reflect on their learning.
