What will I be doing in this course?
The English Advanced course is designed for students who have a particular interest and ability in the subject and who desire to engage with challenging learning experiences that will enrich their personal, intellectual, academic, social and vocational lives. Students appreciate, analyse and respond imaginatively and critically to literary texts drawn from a range of personal, social, historical and cultural contexts, including literature from the past and present and from Australian and other cultures. They study challenging written, spoken, visual, multimodal and digital texts that represent and reflect a changing global world.
In the English Advanced course, students continue to explore opportunities that are offered by challenging texts to investigate complex and evocative ideas, to evaluate, emulate and employ powerful, creative and sophisticated ways to use language to make meaning, and to find enjoyment in literature.

How will this course help me in the future?
Through responding to and composing texts, students learn about the power, value and art of the English language for communication, knowledge, enjoyment and effect. They engage with and explore texts that include widely acknowledged quality literature of past and contemporary societies. By composing and responding students develop an understanding of themselves and of diverse human experiences and cultures.
