English

Read, Write, Spell, Imagine!

Developing confident readers, writers, and spellers who love to explore ideas.

In English, students learn how language and texts help them understand themselves, others, and the world around them. Through reading, writing, speaking, and listening, they build confidence, creativity, and communication skills.

Students explore many different kinds of texts — stories, poems, plays, and media — from Australia and around the world, including works by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples. These texts help them appreciate different cultures and ways of thinking.

• Reading: Students read a range of texts, from stories to information books and digital texts. They learn to find key ideas, make predictions, and discuss what they read with others.
• Writing: Students learn to plan, write, and edit their own pieces, such as stories, persuasive texts, and reports. They develop ways to express ideas clearly and creatively.
• Speaking and Listening: Through class discussions, presentations, and storytelling, students learn to share ideas and listen respectfully to others.
• Digital Literacy: Students learn how to use technology safely and effectively to read, research, and create their own digital work.

As students progress through school, they build stronger skills and learn to use language thoughtfully and confidently in all areas of learning.
