English

In English, we show strength through becoming persistent and resilient learners and contribute significantly to making excellence a habit.  Alongside the strength required to communicate in meaningful ways, students will be able to examine strength demonstrated by characters in novels, poems and dramas.  They will explore examples of strength beyond the scope of their own experience; thus building their emotional intelligence.

In English, we show pride through learning to communicate with poise, clarity and maturity which will allow students to express the whole of themselves and help them to grow and maintain pride in the ways in which they present themselves to the world. Speaking with and in front of their peers can be challenging but with our support students will be able to speak in a range of contexts and be proud that they were able to even though they found it daunting.

In English, we show unity through development of emotional intelligence and Maritime students will develop the emotional intelligence necessary to build long term meaningful relationships with their colleagues, peers and families.  The unity that this will provide will support students in living happy and fulfilled lives by providing the tools they need to understand and express themselves.
