[Year 12 IT Apps] Coding VCE Computing on a 2016 school timetable

[Claudia Graham]

Roland,

We only ever use the VCAA codes for our subjects, on timetables and
subject selection etc - makes everything so much easier.
So they will stay the same, we will just change the names.

However, it will cause some issue with students - i.e. IT01 is in fact VCE
Computing Unit 1 - so they will just call it IT for a while!

Regards
Claudia
