Same here with results tailing off to the teens. I managed to get them to the exam finish line with only one not turning up, nice for a change. Exam results plotted against their outcomes makes for a good line of best fit so I guess they ended up with what we expected. .. still, we can only do our best to inspire them to higher grades although I miss the past when we had more A's.
<br><br>Numbers have gone up with more girls interested in studying IT. We now have again two VCE IT classes at year 11 and one ITA at year 12 and a scattering of new middle school IT classes. WOOT!<br><br>Regards Roland<br>
