Choose a subject
The knowledge-rich curriculum offered in English introduces students to an ambitious breadth of texts to encourage their own intellectual curiosity and ignite a passion for independent reading.
Students are coached in how to use critical thinking skills to explore how texts are crafted and what influences writers’ choices, to not only analyse texts but develop their own writing skills and creativity too.
