<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; color:#1F497D">Thank you for the reminder about the PD days in December. Can you let me know if there will be any cost associated with these PDs? We need to know this information
as part of our internal application process.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; color:#1F497D">Just to update you, DECV have included Algorithmics in our 2015 Enrolment Handbook. My primary curriculum development task for the remainder of this year
will be on Algorithmics. We have three teachers currently interested in both planning and possibly teaching the units. Leo Keith currently teaches software development at DECV. This is a totally online course so Leo is well placed to suggest ways we can offer
this curriculum. Natalia Terikhova and I both currently teach Specialist Maths. Natalia has industrial experience in this area so she is keen to be involved.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; color:#1F497D">Can you let me know the status of the online resource that you demonstrated at the Algorithmics launch on 20 June? For planning purposes, we are keen to know
how much of the Algorithmics course this resource will cover. I understand that this resource may be a work in progress but we would still be interested in viewing any material that is available.</span></p>
