English

English aims to ensure that students:  

• learn to purposefully and proficiently read, view, listen to, speak, write, create and reflect on increasingly complex texts across a growing range of contexts 
• understand how Standard Australian English works in its spoken and written forms, and in combination with non-linguistic forms of communication, to create meaning 
• develop interest and skills in examining the aesthetic aspects of texts and develop an informed appreciation of literature 
• appreciate, enjoy, analyse, evaluate, adapt and use the richness and power of the English language in all its variations to evoke feelings, form ideas and facilitate interaction with others.​
