<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><FONT size=3>Hi All, sorry about
the blatant advertisement but we still find that many schools and IT teachers
don't know that we exist.</FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><FONT size=3>DECV (Distance
Education Centre Victoria) is a state government school located in Thornbury. We
provide courses and support for students who normally reside in Victoria
(students of state schools or private schools) who cannot access the course that
they would like to do for a variety of reasons, timetable clashes, class can't
run due to low numbers etc.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Our
courses are online and also provided on CD to each student.</FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><FONT size=3>If you have students
who you can't provide Information Systems, IP&M, year 11 IT or Cert II and
Cert III Multimedia for next year then you might consider enrolling them with
DECV for one subject.</FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><FONT size=3>There is a cost for
state school students of $150 which can either be paid by the student or the
school.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Private schools incur a fee
of $500 to cover both semesters.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>In
theory the school is supposed to lose one fifth of the funding for a student
doing one subject at DECV but I am told that in practice this does not occur and
the school is fully funded.</FONT></P>

excellent results with out students, last year 39% of students sitting the IS
exam scored 40 or more and 36% of IP&M students did the same.</FONT></P>
