English is more than just a subject—it’s an opportunity to explore ideas that matter, engage with powerful stories, and develop the skills to communicate with confidence in any situation. Our courses are designed to challenge, inspire, and empower students, making English a subject that connects to the real world and the students’ own experiences.

In our English courses we foster curiosity, critical thinking, and a deeper understanding of the world. Engaging themes encourage students to express themselves creatively.  Whether we’re analysing compelling literature, exploring film and media, or crafting our own original writing, we’ll develop skills that open doors to endless possibilities.

Our Pathway: Mataora Ako Huarahi
