What to expect from a Year 8 English programme<\/h1>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]English is a stimulating subject that really comes to life as students enter their secondary school years. In their early teens, students are ready to grapple with some of life\u2019s pricklier aspects and literature provides an excellent space for doing so. In English classes learners can connect with human experiences through story, empathise with characters who are different from them and observe characters coping with life\u2019s challenges.
