Mini Woolies
At BSDS, we’re proud to offer a vibrant and dynamic Mini Woolies store right here on campus. This fully operational mini supermarket features registers, shelving, and a range of fresh and non-perishable items, providing a realistic and engaging setting for hands-on learning.
The Mini Woolies program creates a safe, supportive environment where students can actively build essential real-world skills in numeracy, literacy, and communication. Working alongside their classroom learning, this practical experience is tailored to support each student's individual learning goals.
Through participation in the Mini Woolies store, students have the opportunity to:
• Develop interpersonal communication skills through customer service and everyday conversation
• Strengthen practical abilities in literacy, numeracy, money handling, and register use
• Gain experience in product handling and stock management across a variety of grocery items
• Build confidence, independence, and a sense of readiness for life beyond school
• Explore and become familiar with real-world retail environments through meaningful, experiential learning
