[Year 12 IT Apps] Student Exam Preparation Day 2010

Mon Aug 9 20:59:04 EST 2010

Adrian

Firstly, I do hope you get enough registrations.
 From my point of view, the notice to schools was sent out too late for 
us to organise something as a group, so I am relying on my kids 
registering and attending themselves.

Perhaps next time give schools at least 4-5 weeks notice
