my brother is in year 7 now,im thinking whether i should throw away all my english books (year 11-journeys) and (year 12-belonging) and am wondering whether they will be doing the same topics as area of study?
thank you

 

[ReneeApple]

They won't.

The syllabus is being overhauled in 2013 anyway.

 

[pencilcase]

so i should chuck away all my year 11 (journeys notes) and year 12 (belonging notes)??

 

[ReneeApple]

Unless you have someone else to give them to or something. But they won't be of any use to your brother.

 

[pencilcase]

thank you
i repped you

Throw away. Next year is last year for AOS Belonging.

Rep me too =)

 

[LoveHateSchool]

Yeah Belonging is in its last year next year, all the stuff says 2009-2012 on it.

Curse my belonging to be born at a certain time to do belonging!

 

[Bobbo1]

Who knows, knowing HSC English they might just surprise everyone and cycle belonging again

 

[determine]

perhaps because of the cyclical nature of the belonging process?

^Ohhh I wanted to rep for that devilish comment, but I can't.

 

[MrBrightside]

Perhaps HSC English won't even be compulsory then.

ahahahah someone else can always jump in and do it for me? preferably someone with super high rep power hehehe

What ever the AOS changes to, Skrzynecki will probably still be used.

Wait...so the syllabus is being overhauled in 2013?To what extent? As in the content is being changed?? I'll be in year 12 then, so what's that going to mean, I'll be doing totally different stuff??

Pretty much. Stops people from recycling essay's too much every single year, or at least tries to.

Although I'm not sure if the change is actually going to be implemented in 2013.

Unfortunately yes. Not sure about the modules though.

 

[Some Vunt]

They'll probably do journeys or belonging as the year 11 AOS at your school so don't throw it out.

My english teacher said it has been extended from 2009-2012 to 2009-2014 as they await for the national syllabus. There is no point bringing out all new texts and modules if they will only get 2 or so years out of it so they are prolonging it.

This is correct. Belonging is the prescribed AOS until at least 2014.

I don't know, sorry. I'm not sure whether the work begins on the new syllabus in 2013 or if it's implemented then, but I don't THINK that it will be implemented. They're not just overhauling English either, but all the subjects. I know they're aiming for a standardised national curriculum at some point in the not-too-distant future.
