English at Canberra High School aims to be engaging and enlightening for the student body. Students have access to technology that helps enhance their learning experience.
Assessment
Students will be assessed on the three major aspects of English: writing, reading and speaking. Assessments are modified depending on student ability levels.
Students are further supported through classroom practices of drafting and editing, after receiving feedback from teachers.
