>> Similar to what Mark said.  I have taught at a school that ran the Units 12 concurrently with 34.  The way the timetable was structured allowed both year levels one to one class time and then a double session where all kids were on a the same time.  At times this required a little bit of juggling but it was possible :)

Had to check your email to see that it wasn't in fact an email from our school. Doesn't bear thinking about what 2018 will look like.
