The study of English is fundamental to the learning and development of all young Australians. It fosters confident communicators, imaginative thinkers, and informed citizens. Through English, students learn to analyse, understand, communicate, and build meaningful relationships with others and the world around them.
English plays a crucial role in developing reading and literacy skills that prepare students for further education, training, and the workforce. It supports the growth of ethical, thoughtful, and active members of society.
The English curriculum aims to ensure that students learn to listen, read, view, speak, write, create, and reflect on increasingly complex spoken, written, and multimodal texts across diverse contexts, with accuracy, fluency, and purpose.
