Year 13 English

Level 3 English allows students to study, use, and enjoy language and literature in a variety of text forms and enables us to access the thoughts and perspectives of others, to walk in different worlds, to develop empathy, and to make linguistic and cultural connections.

Level 3 English is an approved subject for University Entrance and builds on the knowledge and skills gained from Year 12 English. It is aimed at students who are working towards attaining the requirements for University Entrance and will enable students to achieve the 14 credits for a subject area that will contribute towards meeting the criteria for UE.
