Thanks everybody for sharing this feedback. I have heard that I may need to run a composite 11 and 12 IT class next year. Going to be interesting.<br>

It's hard work. I have done it a few times as numbers are always such that it would not run as a stand alone subjects. I get a one period time allowance (72 min).<br>
<br>
I've got everything online so kids can work at their own pace with me just doing my bit as and when needed.<br>
<br>
Vera, email me offline if you want more info.<br>
<br>
We are not running at all next year as school has introduced a new subject (VET creative media) that has taken numbers away from IT, but VET attracts lots of finding.<br>
