At Covenant Christian School, the study of English is crucial in order for students to make significant contributions to our modern world. Underpinning many texts are agendas which attempt to manipulate audiences. English assists students to unlock the perspectives from which these texts arise. Moreover, English texts allow an opportunity to investigate and evaluate a variety of worldviews and test these against a biblical framework. The skill acquisition which is integral to the subject allows Christian men and women an opportunity to argue and express a Christian perspective. From the simple acts of letter writing and creative expression to the more complex acts of speech giving, textual analysis and arguing one’s opinion, the freedom and ability to use language for a variety of purposes is absolutely vital.
