English
English at Holsworthy Community College empowers students to become confident communicators, critical thinkers, and creative writers. Through the study of literature, language, and media, students explore diverse texts, develop analytical skills, and express themselves with clarity and imagination.
Our curriculum plans for Years 7–11 support progression in reading, writing, and speaking, preparing students for academic success and lifelong literacy.
English - Inclusive Practice
Inclusive practice in English focuses on clarity, structure, and confidence in reading, writing, and spoken language. Lessons are carefully planned so students understand expectations and are supported through modelling, narration, and guided practice.
Examples of Adapt in Practice in English Lessons:
· Frequent checks for understanding through questioning, mini whiteboards, and short tasks.
· Thoughtful seating arrangements to support focus, confidence, and access to support.
· Clear modelling of reading and writing so students understand what successful work looks like.
· Examples broken into manageable steps, with teachers narrating expectations and thought processes.
· Explicit teaching and revisiting of vocabulary, sentence structures, and writing techniques.
· Regular teacher check-ins during independent work to support progress and independence.
