[English] Help, It's Issues Time !!

[Perkins, Kathryn A]

Hi
At South Oakleigh College we have done changing the  p-plate rules. It was simple and the students enjoyed it because it related directly to them.

Hi Max,

Some thoughts...
Climate change/Earth Hour is current
Legal drinking age?
I'm in a regional school also, so Bay Dredging, while a hot topic, is a

The Apology is worth considering.

Kind Regards,
Nirvana
