[Psychology] RE:

[Jane Dwyer]

hi ken,
first of all, our school is changing too. we are now changing to a similar timetable with 4 periods a day. 
 
also, we are currently investigating having our yr. 10's do a unit one and two, but this is still in the pipeline due to a campus relocation this time next year. also we are a small school and only have about 50 students in each yr level.
 
with regards to the yr. 11 's picking up a 3/4, it really depends on the subject and  their individual results as to whether they are able to cope as well as the subject caters for this. 
 
generally, our policy is to have the yr. 12's complete 5 subjects.
 
anything else?
 
just out of interest, a friend of mine recently began teaching in sale, her name is sarah carter. does she work with you?  i actually was raised in bairnsdale (very close) and attended nagle college.  so good to hear that this system is working to help us all out!
 
good luck with everything.
 
jane dwyer.

	  Hi all, 
	 
	Sorry to bother you at this busy time of the year. Our school is changing its timetable to 4 periods a day and as VCE coordinator I have been asked to examine some of the policies of other schools regarding the following;
	 
	Year 10 students commencing a Unit 1 and 2 VCE study
	Year 11 students completing a Unit 3/4 VCE sequence - and if Year 11 students would be allowed to complete two Unit 3/4 sequences
	Whether or not Year 11 students completing a 3/4 sequence have to complete Unit 1 and 2 of that study in Year 10 - or can they simply pick up the study in Year 11.
	Any policy regarding the number of Unit 3/4 studies a Year 12 student has to complete in their final year - for example doing 4 studies as opposed to 5.
	 
	Any feedback on the above policies would be much appreciated although I am aware how busy you all are.

	

	 

	Cheers
