<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi John. We moved to a 4 X 72 minute day 3 years
ago. Our year 7's and 8's do 4 periods of PE plus one period of health but that
is in a two week cycle. I am not sure if that satisfy's the requirement but am
fairly confident that it does. Don't know if this is any help to
you.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=tem color=#000000 size=3>Dear colleagues,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am seeking clarification and assistance in arguing for a larger slice
of the Year 7 - 10 curriculum time at our college for Health and Physical
Education. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We are changing the structure of our timetable next year from 6 x 48
minute periods to 4 x 72 minute periods. In the process of transferring
the current time allotted to H&PE over to that proposed, my KLA's time is
dropping due to 'rounding down' of total class time minutes.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I wish to strengthen my case for more time by using the Department's
current compulsory Physical and Sport Education times and I'd like to know how
much weight that particular memorandum carries now, in lieu of the transition
to a VELs compliant curriculum.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I welcome any advice, comments or suggestions based on the experience of
other schools.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Your expedient responses would be most welcome.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Many thanks,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>

<DIV>Coordinator of Health and Physical Education at Boronia Heights
College</DIV></FONT></DIV>
