Literacy 

VM Literacy Excursion

The VM Literacy class visited Bounce as part of their study of workplace policies and documentation. Before the day, they studied Bounce's safety policy and then on the day observed how it was used in practice. They also used their oral literacy by speaking with staff members at various shops about how to apply for jobs at the particular store or company. Overall, it was a fantastic day.
