English

English & Drama Faculty

The English Faculty staff are here to guide students in their studies and we welcome and encourage students to come and see us regarding any assistance needed. All teachers in our Faculty are passionate educators experienced in working with students of widely varying interests, skills and backgrounds. We are absolutely committed to enabling those students who bring a responsible and positive attitude to their studies to achieve their personal best.

Language shapes our understanding of ourselves and our world. It is the primary means by which we relate to others and is central to the intellectual, social and emotional development of all students.

In English we learn about the power, value and art of the English language for communication, knowledge and enjoyment across a diverse range of modes and text types.

  • English is a mandatory subject from Kindergarten to Year 12 in NSW.
  • All students must select an English subject to be eligible for a Record of School Achievement (ROSA) or Higher School Certificate (HSC).
