VCAL: LiteracyThe VCAL Literacy program aims to develop students; writing, reading and oral communication skills for the workplace and real-life purposes. Though they are separately outlined below, Reading, Writing and Oracy Outcomes are encountered in an integrated approach throughout the course.

Areas of Study: • Self-Expression • Knowledge • Practical Purposes • Public Debate

Reading The Reading Learning Outcomes involve shared and independent reading tasks. Comprehension of the intended tone and audience. This might come from a variety of sources, such as those as outlined below. • Novels • Newspapers • Blogs • Procedural documents

Writing The Writing Learning Outcomes involve the construction of texts for a variety of purposes. Students produce written work that is appropriate to the audience and situation and could include: • Responses to set questions/topics • Completion of forms • Letters • Resume’s

Oral Communication The Oracy Learning Outcomes focus on the use of, and response to spoken language. Related learning activities might include: • Debating • Public Speaking • Conflict Resolution • Questioning • Excursions

Conclusion There are increasing levels of complexity and support at each successive level of the VCAL certificate. To achieve a competent result, the students will be asked to repeatedly demonstrate comprehension, understanding and meaning in each of the three areas of assessment.

SEMESTER 1

VCAL: NumeracyThe purpose of this units is to enable students to develop everyday numeracy skills to make sense of their daily personal and public lives. To also explore mathematics beyond its familiar and everyday use to its application in wider, less personal contexts such as in the workplace and the community.

Unit 1The mathematics involved comes from the following Areas of Study:

Numerical Skills and ProcessesPerform routine multistep computations with and without software tools and devices. Topics include: Data, Estimation & Ratio.

Financial Literacy Make decisions and perform routine monetary calculations involving money, manage personal Finances and understand risk in familiar situations. Topics include: Simple & Compound Interest.

Planning and Organisation Identify, use and interpret routine numbers and units of measurement to make decisions about time, location, data, resources and solve routine multi-step problems. Topics Include: Time, Distance & Direction.

Measurement, Representation and Design Use units of measurement to measure, represent and interpret objects, plans and diagrams. Topics include: Perimeter, Area, Volume & Scale.

Unit 2 The purpose of this unit is to enable students to extend and apply numeracy knowledge and skills through an investigation in an unfamiliar industry area. The mathematics involved will focus on these areas of study: Number, Measurement, Financial Numeracy, Probability and Statistics. Students will design a Numeracy based project in consultation with their teacher that uses complex calculations and is linked to a specific industry area. They will then apply those numerical skills and use appropriate software tools and devices to represent the data collected and to communicate the results of the project.
