English

English is the study of how we communicate across many forms and texts. The study of all forms of literature from poetry to novels allows students to develop their critical and creative thinking skills. Through the study of English students also explore the world around them, how texts represent the world and how they can make connections between texts and their lives.

Language shapes our understanding of ourselves and our world, and is the primary means by which we relate to others. Skills, knowledge and understanding acquired in English are central to the learning and development of students. At Sylvania High School, all students are given the opportunity to achieve to their potential, preparing them well for their lives as successful global citizens.
