[Year 12 IPM] Googling ITA

[Roland Gesthuizen]

ROTFL .. I had to put up with two years of mystery anti GST posters, 
badgers and banners until I changed schools and acquired RGE. :-)
Perhaps we should award a mystery award to the ICT teacher with the 
timetable initials ITA ..

Seriously though.. thanks all for the laughs, reflection and banter. 
Have a well earned term break and let the Com Games begin !

Regards Roland
