All Year 12 English courses offer a pathway to studying any English course in Year 13.
The General Course (12ENG) has an emphasis on developing student ability to analyse how language has been used to imply meaning.
The English with Philosophy Course (12ENP) is designed as an introduction into philosophical ideas. You will be introduced to ideas such as Existentialism, Nihilism, Essentialism, and Theology, providing a solid foundation in which to engage with a range of literature.
The Writing Beyond The Text Course (12ENW) is designed to provide an in-depth exploration of writing as art, process, and product. We will read and analyse texts across a range of voices and forms. Ākonga will work on a portfolio of writing throughout the year, alongside a range of assessment tasks that put their skills into practice. If you love to write, love the idea of writing, or want to develop your understanding of text further, this is the course for you.
We hope you have a successful and interesting year!
