Literacy committee formulates policy

A Brisbane Water Secondary College literacy committee has been established with representation from a number of faculties and from both campuses of the college.

This committee has formulated a college literacy policy that has been distributed to all teachers.

As part of this policy, every student will receive a copy of the college writing correction code and punctuation guide.

These are also displayed in each classroom and will be used by all teachers when marking students work.

Each faculty is required to develop literacy strategies that are to be incorporated into their teaching and learning programs.
