Approximately 600 high school students from across the Riverina will meet at Charles Sturt University (CSU) in Wagga Wagga on Friday 19 June for the annual HSC English Study Day. Thirty-four lectures, workshops, and discussion panels will be presented on texts and topics being studied by Standard and Advanced English students for the 2015 HSC. Mr David Gilbey, adjunct senior lecturer in English in the CSU School of Humanities and Social Sciences and the coordinator of the HSC English Study Day, said the day's focus will include poetry, prose, drama, film, techniques, writing skills, and exam tips. "There is always a buzz of excitement and fun to the HSC English Study Day," Mr Gilbey said. "The sessions will run from 9.30am to 2.20pm and will be presented mostly by teachers of English from regional high schools and academics from CSU's School of Humanities and Social Sciences. The students are grateful to get another perspective on the work they're concentrating on for the HSC, and for teachers it's a professional development occasion." Students and teachers will come from as far as Tumut, Yass, Yanco, Leeton, Junee, Culcairn, Gundagai and Temora. The HSC English Study Day is organised by the Wagga Wagga Branch of the English Teachers Association, in association with CSU's School of Humanities and Social Sciences.
