English - Stage 5 (Yrs 9 - 10)

Students continue to develop and refine their skills in writing, reading, speaking, listening, viewing and representing. They further develop their skills in thinking critically and imaginatively through responding to and composing a wide range of increasingly complex texts in a range of contexts. Close study of Shakespeare commences. Year 10 students follow a common program and external assessment program. Classes are organised at two levels, advanced and standard.
