Personal and social capability

Through the English curriculum, students develop personal and social capabilities as they learn that language is central to personal and social identity. When engaging with a range of texts, students explore diverse perspectives and how these shape different interpretations and responses. Interacting with others in formal and informal settings helps students to become effective communicators. They are able to articulate their opinions and collaborate with others. Through close reading and discussion of texts, students experience and evaluate different personal and social behaviours and perspectives. They develop connections and empathy with characters in different contexts.
