Information Skills Lessons - Explanations

[Brian Ralph <bralph@ZETA.ORG.AU>]

Thanks for the replies I have received so far, I will post a HIT
Some have asked for explanation of Year 7
Australia follows the same grades as the US only we start our year in
February and finish December.
Year 7s are usually aged 12 to 13.
Our schools are different in composition
Primary (Elementary) are K - 6 usually with an Infants Department for the K - 2
High Schools are 7 - 12 but there are a few like St Agnes known as
Junior High Schools with grades 7 -10.
So my year 7s are new to the school (Freshmen?)
St Agnes has now become one Campus of Christ Catholic College with
another 7 -10 campus plus an 11-12 campus. Note College does not mean
older students - it usually denotes a private school here in NSW but
in other states some state schools are also  called colleges. At the
end of Year 12 students go straight to University
Hope this helps
