<p class="MsoNormal">Dear colleagues<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A notice has been posted in today’s VCAA Bulletin (April edition) calling for expressions of interest to be a review panel member developing the study design for reaccreditation. As you would be aware from an earlier notice, the accreditation
period for VCE IT was extended from 31 December 2014 to 31 December 2015. Unlike previous reviews, this one will involve the review panel working over a longer period – this does not mean more work, just longer breaks between meetings. Part of the reason for
this longer timespan is to accommodate the proposed parallel development of a new pair of units at levels 3 and 4 that will focus on computer science.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Being a review panel member is a voluntary position, typically involving the attendance (out of hours) of approximately 10 – 12 meetings. Follow this link to register your interest in this review process.<o:p></o:p></p>
