Mrs Helen Almey — Head of Department, English
English offers the opportunity to enjoy and respond to a wide variety of different types and genres of texts. Through this exploration, context, culture, issues, and humanity in all its manifestations will be discussed and responded to in written, visual and oral forms. Skills in oracy, writing and close reading will be progressively developed – these skills being the foundation for any number of tertiary and career pathway choices.
This specialised course at year 13 is designed for those with a real passion for the subject. It allows students to design their own course through the exploration of a theme or genre each term. It provides an excellent foundation for developing skills for any number of tertiary and career pathway choices.
