Dear Connie,

I am unsure what year levels specifically but with semester Units it is often hard to cram in all requirements.

Perhaps also looking for designed solutions which have responded to a particular need within your own community.

Hi everyone,

Just wondering if anybody has finished developing their units of work aligned to the new vic curriculum. I am struggling with the technologies and society, can anyone give some suggestions please.
