With respect Bianca,
 
Please don't post this to this list - perhaps the 7-10 and 11 lists are the
most appropriate.

Bringing back ICT - Overturning a decline in ICT students
 
There was a recent article titled "
<http://www.theage.com.au/technology/technology-news/jobs-go-begging-as-stud
ents-shun-it-courses-20120612-208be.html> Jobs go begging as students shun
IT courses" in The Age that the number of students studying ICT in Year 11
and 12 and at university has decreased so dramatically that many Australian
ICT jobs remain vacant. Many of you will be aware of this problem, seeing
the number of students in your classrooms drop each year. 
 
As a response, an associate professor at the University of Sydney said that
universities and schools needed to work together to address the problem. We
are very proud of our secondary school support program, which aims to raise
awareness and create interest in ICT careers and courses. The faculty of ICT
has been working with Victorian schools for more than 4 years and supports
teachers and students by offering curriculum enrichment programs. We are
committed to raising awareness and educating students about the
possibilities and opportunities in the ICT industry. If you would like to
know more about our secondary school support program, please visit our
website.
