LITERACY AND NUMERACY + LEGAL STUDIES?

YOU MIGHT THINK BUT WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH ME? 

I CAN READ.

 I CAN WRITE.

 

 I CAN ADD AND SUBTRACT

 I CAN DO ALL OF THOSE THINGS WELL.

 

Literacy is all of those things and much more. 

In Legal Studies, you learn to "know and understand the law" by being able to describe, explain and communicate legal facts, concepts and processes (Queensland Studies Authority (QSA), 2013).  This ability to understand, evaluate and respond is at the heart of Literacy. 

Given that many of you will move out of home in the future it is important to help you know and understand the forms and documents  to maximize your chances of success. Some of you may enter the workforce with a law firm or a real estate agency. Knowing and understanding these forms will help you with the development of the skills required for these types of employment. 



Knowing the requirements for the applications for a tenancy would assist is deciding who is appropriate to be accepted to rent a property. This will help you to be good at and keep your job. Understanding these forms would assist not only in knowing what to do where tenants do not act appropriately but also in deciding what action to take as a consequence of that behaviour.

You will also learn the skills to recognise the monetary implications that are involved in entering into these agreements and how to apply mathematical concepts outside the school environment (ACARA, 2013b). This is financial literacy at work.
