‘FREEING THE IMAGINATION, GIVING<br />
VOICE TO OUR THOUGHTS’<br />
The prime aim of any English program is to<br />
produce students who can read, write and<br />
manipulate those skills to function as effective<br />
members of a literate, English speaking<br />
community. The more sophisticated a student's<br />
writing skills and the more fluently she can read a<br />
wide variety of texts, the more freedom she will<br />
have as an adult to move amongst the varying<br />
language demands she will encounter.<br />
