The English Advanced Course is designed for students who have a particular interest and ability in this subject that will enrich their personal, intellectual, academic, social and vocational lives. Students appreciate, analyse, evaluate and respond imaginatively and critically to literary texts drawn from a range of contexts and cultures, including literature from the past and present and from Australia. They study challenging written, spoken, visual, multimodal and digital texts that represent and reflect a changing world.
Through exploring and experimenting with processes of understanding and responding to texts, students develop an understanding of how language is employed to create artistic expression in texts. They evaluate the meanings conveyed in texts, and how meaning is achieved. Students expand their skills as independent, collaborative and reflective learners required for post-school life, including the world of work and post-school training and education.
Year 11 Course:
Content common to the English Standard and English Advanced courses is undertaken through a unit of work called Reading to Write: Transition to Senior English. Students explore texts and consolidate skills required for senior study.
Two additional modules: Module A: Narratives that Shape our World and Module B: Critical Study of Literature in which students explore, examine and analyse the ways in which texts and contexts shape and are shaped by different attitudes and values.
Year 12 Course:
The HSC Common Content consists of one module, Narratives and Human Experiences common to the HSC English Standard, Advanced and English Studies courses where students analyse and explore texts and apply skills.
Three additional modules emphasise particular aspects of shaping meaning and representation, questions of textual integrity and ways in which texts are valued. They are Module A: Textual Conversations, Module B: Critical Study of Literature and Module C: The Craft of Writing
