[Year 12 IPM] Rosebud is not offering IPM next year

[Roland Gesthuizen]

Hmm, an interesting thought Margaret. Next year we will most likely 
collapse year 11 and 12 into a single class. I will have a couple of 
weeks at the start of the year to sort out which year 11 students can 
confidently tackle the year 12 work. Admin (bless their socks) are now 
interested in the idea of offering unit 1 and 2 to year 10 students. As 
a start next year we will increase their time allotment to 5 periods per 
week then revisit it at the end of 2006. Was interested too to read what 
Tim is doing at Strathcona with VET Multimedia.

Regards Rolnad
