All teachers at Marc Garneau work to support all of our students with their literacy needs.  Each year students are required to write the Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test (OSSLT).  All students must pass this test with a minimum mark of 70% in order to graduate from high school.  Students write this test for the first time in Grade 10.
