This subject is designed for:

  • Students who are seeking to meet the SACE literacy requirements but are struggling with mainstream English
  • An English language development focus for students who are new arrivals in Australia
  • Students who are planning to pursue a career in a range of trades or vocational pathways. There is an emphasis on practical communication, comprehension, analysis and text creation.
