[Year 12 SofDev] VCe IT consultation

Thu Jul 30 21:53:58 EST 2009

Hi everyone,

I might follow up Paula's email with one of my own encouraging you all to get involved in this process.  There is a window of opportunity for you all to have your say about the proposed future IT study design - and beyond this - you will be charged with implementing it.  VITTA will be running an evening open forum in which we will outline and explain the new features of the study design - and we will present the information collected at this forum to VCAA - but you all can make an individual contribution by registering with VCAA.

All the best,
Adrian Janson
VITTA President

Subject: [Year 12 SofDev] VCe IT consultation

Dear colleagues

As many of you would know, the existing VCE IT study design is being reviewed this year, as its accreditation period expires on 31 December 2010. This means that from 1 January 2011 there will be a new IT study design. 

As part of the review process, the draft study design is made available for consultation. All feedback acquired through this process must be considered by the review panel, so having your say about this draft is very important. The VCE IT draft study design will be available on the VCAA website for consultation for the period 17 August until 18 September. If you want to participate in this process, please read the following message, and register. Please note that even if you don't register, you can still provide feedback on the draft study design.

Regards

Paula
