Welcome to the Melbourne High School English Faculty Web Site  
     
You are invited to peruse the variety and breadth of learning the student will experience at Melbourne High School. The English Faculty web site provides information about the English courses offered at Melbourne High School, our enrichment programs, teaching and learning methodologies, extension units, homework, as well as access to our on-line learning units.

Apart from the information contained on this web site, MHS students can access a range of course documents and units of work from their English Year Level Page on the Schools Intranet, which can be accessed from home internet connection as well as within the School. Students can also download class files, catch up on work missed when absent, be reminded of due dates and other class matters as well as interact on-line with others in their class on a course-related topic.

Parents also have a unique opportunity to view a range of course materials currently being studied by their sons in English and keeping abreast of their sons work in English.
