The study of English helps students to
become ‘… confident communicators,
imaginative and critical thinkers and
informed citizens’ who ‘… analyse,
understand, communicate and build
relationships with others and the world
around them.’
English aims to ensure students ‘… learn
to purposely and proficiently read, view,
listen to, speak, write, create and reflect
on increasingly complex texts’. They
‘understand Standard Australian English’
and ‘develop interest and skills in
examining aesthetic aspects of texts …’
and appreciate literature. They ‘… enjoy,
analyse, evaluate, adapt and use […]
English language in all its variations to
evoke feelings, form ideas and facilitate
interactions with others.’
