I have just seen our numbers for next year as well.

Unit 1/2 = 14 (this year - 22)

Unit 3/4 = 9 (this year - 5)

Year 10 is interesting though.

Game Design = 25

Web Design = 19

Web Programming = 16

Cheers

Was just about to post this same discussion. We seem to be all
re-visiting this.

Nagle has an enrolment of 950. 2011 classes have just been drafted. Unit
1-2=8 students, Unit 3-4=1 student

Interesting to note we can only raise 2 classes of 25 student for a term
elective of gamemaker in Y10 as well.

Trends are trending away from us..

Cheers

It's really odd!  

ITA, which has run continuously forever with good numbers has barely
scraped a class together for next year by combining year elevens and
twelves into one small ITA class.

SD, which has only run every 3 or so years (with a small cohort when it
did run), is nearly over-subscribed.

There don't seem to be any clear local causes for such a great change of
attitude (e.g. changes of teachers or big changes in middle-years IT
offerings) so I can only put it down to either something in the water,
or the changes to the study design.

To be fair, I haven't heard kids explicitly blaming the ITA study
design, and for some reason they seem dead keen on programming in our
year 10 Info Systems elective. My year 11 IT classes have been dead
quiet for 2 weeks with the kids busily coding in VB6.  Last year I had
to beat them with chairs to finish the VB material... this year I can
sit up the front folding paper aeroplanes and clipping my toenails while
they beaver away and sort out problems within their own ranks.

Odd!
