[Year 12 IT Apps] Best of luck today, everyone

Tue Nov 9 18:33:45 EST 2010

I didnt really like the exam this year .
what do others think as some questions seem a bit ambiguous on first read.

do you think the study design intended to go out with a bang?

This year was different after the exam, we all had a good laugh (and cry),
swapping stories, group photos, career plans (customs agent, IT programmer,
foreign service, airline steward, travel agent, engineer etc.) Interesting
that this year I have as many girls doing year 12 ITA as guys. I think the
Go Girls, Go for IT program a couple of years ago has a lot going for it.
The small group has finally drifted away ..

Thank you all for your boundless help over the past year. I am off to a new
school, moving south east to Keysborough Secondary College (eLearning
Coordinator)

Regards Roland

PS: Westall is looking for somebody to teach VCE Info Sys next year (hint
for any new graduates)
