<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";
color:navy'>I am very mindful of the distance that some people have to travel
to get to a workshop, but unfortunately it is not always possible to meet
everyone’s needs. Given financial and personnel constraints we are unable to
offer more than one workshop in each region. VCE IT is one of few VCE studies
that has workshops in every region – some studies have only 2 – 6 workshops for
the state. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";
color:navy'>It is a tricky business determining the best location for the
workshops with decisions usually based on the concentration of schools within a
geographic area. But often the best plans go astray. For example, we have
located one regional workshop in an area that has a potentially strong
audience, but to date only a couple of people have registered. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
