Department Head: Mr. David Crowe
The S.C. English department offers a wide range of courses to meet the needs, abilities, and interests of diverse learners.
In grades 9, students can take locally developed or academic level English. In grade 10, the choice expands to include an applied level course. In grades 11 and 12, the department offers essential, college, or university level English courses.
Our Grade 11 courses have become Contemporary First Nations, Metis, and Inuit Voices and Perspectives in English (NBE3E, NBE3C, and NBE3U). These courses provide students with the key analytical literary and writing skills needed for grade 12 while exploring new voices and perspectives.
"Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counsellors, and the most patient of teachers."
- Charles W. Eliot
