<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Yes it is interesting, one thing I gleaned was that right now, we are able to decide all our own subject content from Year 10 down (making sure we develop courses
that can measure VELS elements of course). However, ACARA are suggesting there should be 2 subjects at Years 9 & 10 called ‘Design & Technologies’ and ‘Digital Technologies’. I see this as ‘VCE Creep’, where subjects become prescribed further down the school.
ACARA also say it is fine for us to complement these subjects with others at the same year levels, to cover what we think is important, this is in Point 116.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">I am wary of this move, but will not get really concerned until I see what these actual subjects consist of. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
