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

[Vella, James]

We're sticking with the VCAA/VASS codes - like Claudia's school.

Don't forget that students that have completed Apps this year won't be allowed to receive a 2nd score by completing Informatics next year as the codes will remain identical.

Very sensible Claudia. Probably gets messy when tradition guides decisions by a school timetabler and it is trimmed to just a few letters. Curious what others will do 2016.
