[Design and Technology] All in it together

[Rob Kayler-Thomson]

Hi all thankyou all who have taken up cause of the issues will all face, I too support all, I too have only got back what had been reported back so cannot offer anything new to add from VCAA apart from the change in language re working from home ( were participable ) from must not work on their projects at home, by of course this excludes much with the safe use of materials and OHS guidelines for some materials, tools and equipment. I like you all have a issue with the comment with the Finished product ( no marks for ) yes but I contradicts the study design and outcomes used to get there. Lorraine's point re S or N If they cannot meet the study design requirements for the unit, then there will be a lot of students get N as they have not meet all of the criteria and completing a finished product. The study design should be updated and changed to reflect comments that not all indictors need to be used.
I was going to retire late year after over 30 years in teaching all the levels of our great subject, May be I should have as this year has most upsetting to my students with the year of closure in many areas of year 12 they don't get to have. But I still have that passion so I with you all and will keep going as one of the joys of this subject is to see them complete some amazing product, but not this year.
