[Year 12 IPM] usb memory sticks

[murch at tpg.com.au]

We have also booklisted usb's.  Students work so much with multimedia and photos, videos etc, 
they need the bigger storage devices. Misdemeanors are dealt with on an individual basis.  
However, can you believe, our year 7 students were all denied email user names due to the 
current year 8's misdemeanors!!!!! (last year)
