Literature
Exploring the Stories that Shape our World
Literature invites students to look beyond the page and uncover the ideas, creativity and perspectives that shape great storytelling. Through the study of classic and contemporary texts, boys explore how authors use language, structure and imagination to reflect, challenge and influence the world around them. Designed for students with a passion for reading, writing and critical thinking, Literature develops empathy, intellectual curiosity and a sophisticated command of language skills that extend far beyond the classroom.
Senior Preparation (Year 10)
Creative Expression and Critical Thinking
Year 10 Literature introduces students to the craft of close reading, creative writing and literary analysis.
Boys explore how texts connect across genres and cultures, build confidence to form independent interpretations, communicate ideas effectively, and prepare for senior humanities studies.
Senior Years (Year 11-12)
Connecting Texts, Ideas and Perspectives
Senior Literature challenges students to become thoughtful, creative and analytical thinkers.
By exploring connections between texts, cultures, and time periods, boys investigate how language shapes identity and influences how we understand the world. Independent research, analytical responses and creative presentations develop the advanced communication skills needed for academic success and future pathways.
