• At Colo High School English Studies is currently NOT an ATAR subject. English Studies has the potential to be an ATAR course with the completion of the English Studies examination.

• This course is designed to meet the specific needs of students who wish to refine their skills and knowledge in English and consolidate their literacy skills.  

• The English Studies course provides students with opportunities to become competent, confident and engaged communicators and to study and enjoy a breadth and variety of texts. 

•  Students explore the ideas, values, language forms, features and structures of texts in a range of personal, social, cultural, academic, community and workplace contexts. 

•  Through responding to and composing texts students strengthen their ability to access and comprehend information, assess its reliability, and synthesise the knowledge gained from a range of sources for a variety of purposes.
