Year 12 - Common Module
The Common Module is a compulsory part of your English HSC, whether you are doing Advanced, Standard or EALD. This course will help you maximise that mark, giving you the required skills to succeed in all three aspects: how to analyse your set text and related material and how to convert that knowledge into a Band 6 essay, how to write creative pieces, and how to write answers in response to unseen texts.
Year 12 - Essay Writing Skills (EWS) Program
Your mark in HSC English is basically determined by your ability to write extended responses. This course teaches you to write Band 6 essays. With the aid of individually tailored notes and resources, you will focus on the module of your choice and gain a thorough knowledge of your set text(s). You will then be given step by step guidance on how to convert that knowledge into well structured sophisticated essays.
