[Year 12 IT Apps] VCEIT.com - IT or Computing

[Roland Gesthuizen]

My thinking was that we keep the VCE subject code as IT for convenience and familiarity with the new course descriptions but only for the next few months whilst course selections are cranking through, then it must be allowed to naturally expire. I will insist that we use the proper extended name directly after that. I am quite ready for the name changes come December and open to what other schools are using as codes. Crikey, it was a tough battle to overtake Italian with IT, we can do it again .. so lets all sit around that virtual campfire and DIG DIG DIG, DOB DOB DOB (do our best <http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1016630/Dyb-dyb-dyb-Baden-Powell-got-right.html>)
