The English curriculum emphasises the development of literacy as a multifaceted skill that encompasses not only reading comprehension and writing proficiency but also digital literacy and oral communication. Students are encouraged to explore themes, characters, and cultural contexts within texts, fostering a deeper understanding of human experiences and societal issues. 

Through exploration, analysis, and reflection, the English subject area in the New Zealand curriculum inspires students to become effective communicators, critical thinkers, and lifelong learners. It cultivates a love for literature and language, nurtures empathy and cultural understanding, and prepares students to navigate a globally interconnected world with confidence and clarity.
