[English] Issues Thanks and off-topic request

[Max Duthie]

Hi Folks,

thanks for all of the suggestions regarding possible issues topics.

After a week or two of collecting articles and putting a choice of
issues to the class, they opted today to go for the Olympics Boycott /
Torch Relay topic.

A quick question, do people plan to use any visual material (aka
cartoons or photographs) as either source material or as analysis
pieces for their SAC? There have been some excellent cartoons and also
some very compelling photos from the Torch relay.


An off topic request. As VCE coordinator i have been approached to
allow students sitting for mid-year exams (Sciences including
Psychology and Accounting) to have at least one day of 'Swot Vac' in
the week  of exams leading up to the GAT. What I am interested to
know, if you are able to find out, is what the current practice is at
your school.

I'll be grateful for any feedback you can provide.
