Welcome back to term 3!

Our year 12 General English students have 'hit the ground running', completing the first three exam sessions on their first day back!!

Likewise, some of year 10 and 11 English students are settling into new English subjects or classes as we work to ensure all students are supported in their pathways.

Further to this, our Year 9 and 10 students are about to undertake the exciting journey of planning out their Senior Schooling journey. Part of this involves selecting their Senior English subjects. In senior, English branches into multiple different subjects and here at the college they are: English Extension (Year 10), General English (Year 10-12), Foundation English (Year 10), Essential English (Year 11-12), Literature (11-12) and Short Course Literacy. Students who intend to continue studies at university will need select one of the following subjects in years 10, and 11 and 12: English Extension (Year 10), General English (Year 10-12), or Literature (11-12). These subjects are rigorous and have a pre-requisite of a minimum achievement of a ‘B’ in year 9 English.

Students who intend to enter the workforce, or continue studies at TAFE can select from Foundation English (Year 10), and Essential English (Year 11-12). These subjects offer the same QCE points as the other English subjects, but do not contribute to ATARs.

If you have any questions about which English subject is right for your child, I encourage you to email your child’s current English teacher, or Head of Department - English, Ms Diesing to discuss.

The English faculty would also like to congratulate Ms Champs on the safe arrival her baby boy during the holidays.
