<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Morning All, <u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Thank you to everyone for all the updates regarding the SAT and production.
<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>VCAA should really take advice from DATTA VIC and all it’s delightful members who are all on the front line in communicating with year 12’s and assessing the criteria. I fully believe we can all
make a judgement against the ranking of students based on completed SAC’s and SAT criteria 1-5.
<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>But for now, offer the advice we all need to hear that the practical element for 2020 cannot be assessed because of consistency across all schools and equality.
<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>The students, as staff, will be bitterly disappointed but it isn’t feasible against the timeline VCAA propose. As Stuart mentioned there is also huge OHS concerns as well, knowing that some students
have barely commenced the prac element. <u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>It is great to have all the support across DATTA Vic!!
<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>All the best <u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="vertical-align:baseline"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;color:rgb(32,31,30)">I spoke to the VCAA Design and Tech curriculum manager, Leanne Compton, in regards to the concerns you raised about VCE Product Design and she had some useful
advice.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="vertical-align:baseline"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;color:rgb(32,31,30)">Firstly she wanted to reassure us that it's ok if students do not finish their products. SATs can be modified by only assessing the indicators under each of the
criteria that don't involve/require prac. She gave the example for criteria 8, where teachers would assess students on indicator 2 only instead of 1,2 and 3. VCAA trust that teachers will still be able to accurately rank their students so long as the school-based
assessment is consistent. <u></u><u></u></span></p>

woodwork students. Have we investigated sending out sewing machines/resource packs to students? This, of course, would have to be done in a way that is equitable to all student in the cohort. <u></u><u></u></span></p>
