Students intending to leave school before completing the HSC have the option of taking online Literacy and Numeracy tests at school on Monday, October 27.
The tests are prepared and marked by the Board of Studies, Teaching and Educational Standards NSW (BOSTES).
Students completing the tests will receive reports detailing their level of skill in literacy and numeracy.Discussions with employer groups reveal that the ability to provide tangible evidence of these skills is highly regarded when they are making a decision to employ.
The tests consist of a range of short-answer questions that relate to aspects of everyday life such as reading a recipe, preparing a quote and providing directions to a location.
If your son or daughter is interested in taking online Literacy and Numeracy tests, it is important they notify Mrs McDowell by Thursday, October 20, so they can be enrolled.
