    • Are you prepared to compromise the practical and conceptual rigour of the programs you teach and reduce student
    expectations of learning in the Visual Arts?
    • Are you prepared to allow Visual Arts to be integrated with the other Arts at the expense of your own professional
    knowledge and the achievement of student outcomes?
    • Are you willing to lose our Mandatory Course (100 hours) in Years 7 and 8 Visual Arts? Would 20 minutes per week
    or 13.5 hours per year permit you to achieve what you do with students now?
    • Would you be happy to forgo the achievement of students (eg in the HSC and ARTEXPRESS), through specialist
    teaching/programs in schools, timetabling, teachers’ jobs, university pathways, and opportunities for students to
    pursue careers in Visual Arts & Design?
