Postscript: When you collect the $50 bills, check them carefully: a misprint may make them collector's items:

Hi, thrillseekers

If students want to choose an alternative language (or a different implementation of it) you might want to create a checklist of VCAA's 'approved language criteria' and get the student to tick that their chosen language and implementation meets the criteria.

This comes to mind:

Dear amazing and wonderful SD teacher,

To the best of my knowledge, I [ insert name here] believe that my chosen programming language [ insert language name / implementation here] is able to:

[  ] develop a GUI for use in digital systems such as laptops, gaming consoles, mobile phones, tablets, robots.
[  ] construct and use data structures
[  ] design and apply data validation techniques
[  ] use program control structures: selection, iteration and sequencing
[  ] use modularisation and code optimisation
[  ] use objects, methods and event-driven programming functions.
[  ] design, construct and use external storage and access technologies
[  ] retrieve data from external sources.

So help me, [ insert deity's name here ]

Your humble student
Signed this day [ insert date here ]

[sign here]

[apply fingerprint in blood here]

Staple one $50 note here.

Or something similar. (Your version may vary)

Regards,
Mark
