The program was created in response to students needs; there was an overwhelming amount of students that were admitting to struggling to find time and ways to study for English. The school already had in place several before, after and lunch time classes for other VCE subjects but had nothing in place for English studies. When asking me to create the English study group, they were expecting an after school class that would allow students to create study programs to suit their needs and assistance with activities they were struggling with during class time.

They decided to implement the class as they had had successful results from students who were undertaking the extra study in other areas, and worked on the presumption that the results would be the same for English. Being a subject every student undertakes, the students willing to participate were quite high; with the numbers it was hard to create a time and space that would be appropriate for all students to be accommodated, for this reason, and for the best learning to take place with the students the group was cut down into smaller groups, that other teachers were allocated to take for afterschool lessons.

As a whole, the initiative that was being used by the school was a tool that allowed students to get the most out of their English studies, the school was providing the time, resources and support for all students to have a grasp on their English curriculum and study. This ACP was an attempt to give students the best opportunity possible to be prepared for their English SAC’s and exam.
