<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">We are planning to start offering IT electives at both Year 9 & 10 at our school starting in 2015<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">At present we don’t have any IT offerings at these Year levels – although Year 10 students may select Unit 1 & 2 IT<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">I’m looking at offering 2 electives at each year level – and each elective would run for a semester<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">I’m hoping people might forward to me the types of electives that they run at their school and in particular the types of electives that have proven popular<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Also I’m keen to offer at least one elective that would be appeal to female students to try and increase the ratio of boys to girls studying IT<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
