Literacy Villages: Frankston and Mornington Peninsula
30-June-2011
Mr BURGESS -- The Frankston-Mornington Peninsula Literacy Villages Partnership, which is a partnership between the City of Frankston, Mornington Peninsula Shire Council, the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development and the Catholic Education Office was launched in Mornington on 8 June this year. The project aims to ensure literacy success for all children aged 0-18 years, through whole-of-community engagement. Each village is developing a literacy action plan for the children within its area, using local knowledge and experience. I commend this project and the wonderful people behind it for taking positive and practical action to address what is a major issue for our youth and our community.
