The theme of our Year 9 and Year 10 English program for Term 2 was “I see myself in texts”. The primary text for our Year 9 and Year 10 English program for Term 2 varied across the different classes. Most of the classes focused on the visual text “Three Wise Cousins” (directed by Stallone Vaiaoga-Ioasa), Trash and a variation of short texts. The Common Assessment Task that our Year 9 and Year 10 students have been working on in Term 2 was Formal Writing and Creative Writing.
Our Junior students also had Mid Year Junior Examinations in Term 2 which took place in Week 7. The students responded well to the English examination and we are really happy with what they were able to achieve.

We continue to use the online literacy app - StepsWeb. The students spend ONE period a week in the library on StepsWeb. We also use the library period for our students to read (the shared class text or a text of their own choice). This aligns with one of our Department goals in our Junior English program ‘Read for Pleasure.’Some of our Junior classes have used the online app -
www.bookcreator.com - to create their own books for the Creative Writing Assessment. We are hopeful that we can use some of our student’s creative texts for our Department publication of ‘Our Voices.’
