[Year 12 SofDev] Outcome 1

[Fiona Mackenzie]

hi all, 

I'm in the process of revamping the ZOOM SAC (class is full of boys interested in V8 Supercars). I'm not sure who created the original SAC - but it was someone on the list (thankyou very much).
Attached is a copy of where I am so far - any suggestions greatfully received.

regards
Fiona Mackenzie
