English Stage 6

Through the study of English in Stage 6 students continue to develop their capacity to understand and use the English language for a variety of purposes and in various textual forms. Students engage with and explore a variety of texts that include widely acknowledged quality literature of past and contemporary societies. Through their responding and composing of both critical and creative texts, students develop an understanding of themselves and of diverse human experiences and cultures. The study of English in Stage 6 provides students with opportunities to experiment with ideas and expression, to become innovative, active, independent learners, to collaborate and to reflect on their learning.

Years 11 and 12 subject choices and career opportunities

Students can see the connections between their subject choices in Years 11 and 12 and the career opportunities these subjects can lead to after school.

We have worked with education and industry experts and added information to each Stage 6 course description about the possible study, work, and training paths relevant to the subject.
