English
The English curriculum aims to ensure that students:
-
learn to listen to, read, view, speak, write, create and reflect on increasingly complex and sophisticated spoken, written and multimodal texts across a growing range of contexts with accuracy, fluency and purpose
-
appreciate, enjoy and use the English language in all its variations and develop a sense of its richness and power to evoke feelings, convey information, form ideas, facilitate interaction with others, entertain, persuade and argue
-
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 inquiring into the aesthetic aspects of texts, and develop an informed appreciation of literature.
