What's making news this fortnight

Verney Road Fresh Food 🛒

 

It was very exciting to be able to launch our very own mini supermarket on Tuesday 1st August. This program will provide so many added opportunities for hands on learning for students across the school.  Verney Road Fresh will also allow some of our students who have up until now, had little experience in a supermarket setting,  an opportunity to experience a supermarket in a safe environment that does not overwhelm them.  It will provide them with hands on experiences in maths and literacy while providing opportunities to develop other life skills such as budgeting and cooking.

 

In 2024 we will also run certificate courses in retail for some of our Senior Years students which will provide a platform to develop real life work skills and pathways to future work opportunities.

 

The smiles on the faces of our students say it all!
