Nothing to see here in the latest VCAA bulletin<https://www.vision6.com.au/ch/18689/2dbj6hc/2491925/36862grnf.pdf>. Please move along...

"VCE Computing: Informatics

The VCE Computing Study Design (2016–2019) advises that students studying Informatics Units 3 and 4 are required to use a mandated set of software tools. The study design lists the software tools that students are required to both study and use in Units 3 and 4. Students use other software such as tools for documenting project plans and capturing data, but there is not a mandated list of functions for these. No changes have been made to the Informatics software functions requirements for 2017.

VCE Computing: Software Development

The VCE Computing Study Design (2016–2019) advises that there are mandated programming requirements that students are required to use when developing working modules and purpose-designed solutions. This means that schools must use these requirements as the basis for choosing a programming language for study. No changes have been made to the Software Development programming requirements for 2017."

So, Paula (please stop packing for a moment) - is VB6 still OK for SD?
