| English Department @ TOD Term 1 2026 |
Term 1 proved to be a highly productive and busy period for the English Department, marked by significant planning and the exciting addition of a new team member. We were thrilled to welcome Mrs Nivashni Lata to our team, and we are so excited to have her join our department. Our work focused on strengthening our foundation for the year, starting with a comprehensive review of our Senior English credits and establishing clear expectations for all our students. Furthermore, we dedicated considerable time to reviewing our Term 1 curriculum, which largely focused on text studies across our Year 9, 10, 12, and 13 English classes, and reviewing our writing unit for our Year 11 classes.
I would like to extend my deepest gratitude and thanks to the entire English Department team for the incredible work, time, and effort you poured into our department and our students throughout Term 1. I especially want to acknowledge Ms Anahina Latu and Mr Faiyaz Hoosein for their exceptional leadership of the English Department while I have been away on maternity leave. I am profoundly grateful for the dedication and guidance they provided, and I am particularly thankful for their willingness to lead during the always-busy period that marks the end of the term. Thank you all for ensuring a successful and productive term.
I want to express my sincere appreciation to the entire English Department team for a truly successful Term 1. Your commitment, professionalism, and dedication have been outstanding, and I couldn't be more grateful for your collective efforts. Thank you, Mrs Pravina Harde, for your steady support and valuable contributions and for leading the EAsttle and PAT testing; Mrs Nivashni Lata, for jumping into our busy environment with such enthusiasm and skill; Mr Faiyaz Hoosein, for his vital leadership and unwavering commitment; Mr Jeiel Sevilla, for his hard work and positive impact on our students; Ms Anahina Latu, whose guidance was crucial during my absence; and Ms Francis Kolo, for your consistent effort and reliability. We achieved so much this term, and it is entirely thanks to the dedication and success of each and every one of you.
As Term 1 ends, please take a moment to reflect on all the hard work and dedication you’ve poured into our students and our department. I am so grateful for everything that has happened in the classroom this term, from the engaging text studies to the focused writing units, and I know that the profound impact you have all had on our students’ learning and growth will carry forward into the next term and beyond. Thank you for making Term 1 such a success.
