Inaugural Extension 2 English Day

A Day of Inspiration and Ideation 

On Friday 11 October, the English Department were excited to host the inaugural Extension 2 English Day for our Year 11 students commencing the HSC course. Held as part of Shore’s ongoing partnership with the University of Sydney, students had the privilege of hearing from writer and academic Dr Felicity Plunkett, who shared her invaluable insights on the Extension 2 English course.

Dr Plunkett’s focus on ideation, strategies for creativity and sharing of exemplar works was powerful in providing students with ideas and inspiration for their own major works, leaving students with a renewed passion for English, excited for the year ahead.

We were delighted to welcome peers from Sydney Grammar, Loreto Kirribilli, and St Aloysius. The collaborative spirit of the day fostered an enriching exchange of ideas and perspectives across schools, with students engaging in vibrant discussions about their creative processes and unique approaches to the Extension 2 syllabus.

The success of this inaugural Extension 2 English Day promises an exciting future, with plans to make this an annual event that continues to foster a community of young, passionate writers.
