English is a core subject, taken by all students in Year 12.

There are TWO English courses at Level 2: 02ENG (English General), and 02ENA (English Academic). Placement in the courses will depend on students' results in Level 1 English, and will be decided by the Teacher in Charge.

Course Length: Full Year

Teacher in Charge: Tim Nicholson (NIC)

In these English courses, students will continue to develop English skills from previous years, and explore how and why writers and directors communicate their messages the way they do. Students will also continue to develop the ability to express ideas and understanding of texts in a variety of ways.
