After numerous years of IPM classes running around the 2 number (I am talking students here btw - not classes as many of you have been doing) I fought very hard to allow some of the year 10's to do Unit 1 and 2.  The result
5 or 6 for ita (3 of whom will be year 11)
1 or 2 for year 11 (1 of whom will be year 10)

At first glance it may appear that I have shot myself in the foot by not leaving the year 10's to wait until year 11 but the year levels are tiny. Year 12 - 8 students, year 11 - 10 and year 10 - 6 students - so if you take the percentages I think my numbers are actually up.
