In year 8, students interact with peers, teachers, and community members in both face-to-face and online settings. They learn in various contexts, including school, local, and global environments.

Students engage with a wide range of texts for enjoyment and learning, including media texts, novels, non-fiction, poetry, and performances. They develop skills in interpreting and evaluating texts, understanding how context, purpose, and audience influence them.

Students explore diverse literary genres with complex plots and characters, and informative texts with specialized content. They create imaginative, informative, and persuasive texts, such as narratives, reports, and discussions, and begin crafting literary analyses.
