NEWS FROM THE ENGLISH DEPARTMENT

Year 11 (Year 12 2020) have been working on assessment tasks up to the end of term. Their workload will continue over the holidays with their English teachers prescribing holiday homework and reading.

Year 12 Advanced English will be reading ‘An Artist of the Floating World’ and Year 12 Standard English will be required to read their text ‘Unpolished Gem' during the holidays. We encourage you to support your child by discussing this with them and checking in on their reading progress.

 

Years 7 and 8 have been busy with their end of year spelling bee. The finals were held this week and our winners are:

The summer break is a wonderful time to get your children reading. Take a look at what’s on your home bookshelf or visit your local library. The smaller Shoalhaven communities have a mobile library service - see this link for information -

Not only is reading relaxing and enjoyable, it increases your child’s vocabulary, enabling them to be better writers.

We wish all of our families a peaceful and safe Christmas.

Mrs. Kathy Woodall

Acting English Coordinator
