English Faculty – Bernadette Coppock

Year 12 English Advanced and English Standard attended the English Teachers’ Association Student Day.

The day is designed for students to meet with experienced HSC markers to unpack the English HSC examinations, as well as gain fresh insights and perspectives into the texts studied across their course.

Year 12 Advanced and Standard students, along with their teachers Ms Peric and Miss
Berger had the opportunity to attend the English Teacher’s Association Paper 2 Study Day at
the University of Sydney for a day of English lectures.

The Advanced class attended lectures comparing Shakespeare’s King Richard III and Al Pacino’s Looking for Richard, one on T.S. Eliot’s poetry and one on improving our creative writing.

Standard English explored Robert Gray poetry and the film One Night The Moon.

We also had the opportunity to tour the campus and see some highlights such as the Main Quad and Manning House. Overall, we really enjoyed the opportunity to both improve our understanding of our class texts as we head towards HSC Trials and explore the campus of Sydney University.
