[Year 12 IT Apps] Student Exam Preparation Day 2010

Mon Aug 9 16:57:04 EST 2010

Understood Adrian. 
I have encouraged my students to attend and printed out the flier for them.
I was just thinking ahead in terms of contingencies.
As I said before I am still finding my way with these things as this is my
first year teaching year 12 since coming back to teaching. I wasn¹t sure
whether this was an event that schools paid for on behalf of students or
something students were encouraged to attend off their own back. In any
case, I would argue that it would be in their interest to attend as I agree
with Roland that the real thing is undoubtedly best. I also believe in
supporting the work of subject associations wholeheartedly.

Regards
George
