[Year 12 IT Apps] sac2

Thu May 13 08:17:50 EST 2010

Please forgive me mounting my usual soapbox for a second...

Whichever SAC you use, and wherever it comes from, it's still
*your*responsibility to ensure that it fulfils the requirements of the
study
design.  There have been one or two dodgy outcomes let loose in the past
that would not have passed VCAA auditing.
