[Year 12 IPM] IPM numbers

[Andrew Grimshaw]

In 2005 we had no students doing any ICT in yr 9/10

I have managed to get a new yr 9/10 Multimedia unit up for next year with about 20 students. I am hoping to get some sort of a flow on in into Yr 11 IT

Our numbers have been steadily decreasing for VCE IT, IS and IPM. 

In 2005 there was 2 IPM units running, 1 IS and 2 IT and 2006 we have one of each

  Hi all
  At my school, IT (or ICT) is in dire straits.

  This year, there was 1 IPM class (healthy numbers of Year 12s and 11s) but no Unit 1/2 class.
  In an effort to spark interest in IT, I have introduced separate semester elective subjects of Multimedia and Programming at Year 10.
  Next year no IPM class, and so Units 1/2 would run, I had to have a shared class of Year 10s doing the above subjects with the 3 who selected Units 1/2.

  We are a laptop school and this may be affecting the students choice of subjects , but it is just as well or I would be out of a job.

  hi all

  Just out of interest I was wondering what numbers people have in their IPM classes and the ratio to VCE  numbers

  Ive got 25 out of a pool of 230 VCE students
