Hi Melissa,
I too would love a copy via email (gu at ruyton.vic.edu.au) if it is not 
too much trouble. I echo your comments about this sac. To really give it

the time it deserves and to ensure the students really understand what 
the SAC is about it takes away so much time form their prac work and 
folio preparation. I am teaching this for the first time and I feel 
overwhelmed so imagine what the students feel!
Thanks
Kate Guggenheimer
