[Design and Technology] set up

Tue May 17 23:56:07 AEST 2016

Hi Stuart,
I am teaching at an all girls school so unfortunately our D&T is Textiles
based only. We do not run D&T at year 7 at all. At year 8 we have a
compulsory semester comprising 3X80 mins per two week cycle. At year 9 it
is an elective offered against Food Tech and Digital Technology electives
for 5X80 mins per cycle. At year 10 the elective is for one semester at
6X80 mins per cycle, which has the same time allotment as the VCE PD&T
Units.
