2009 is the first year of implementation. The first WACE examinations for Literature will be conducted in 2010.
Reading literature for pleasure and for the intellectual experience are key elements of the course. In Literature, students learn how to understand the values and attitudes that are privileged or marginalised by texts as well as the cultural and historical contexts in which they are produced and received. Through the study of Literature, students create readings of literary texts and develop the skills necessary to better understand their world. They apply and explore their understandings of literature through writing their own poems, plays and stories.
