I have taught in the Professional Writing Course at Deakin University, Burwood, for eight years. In this time I have had the pleasure of teaching many students from Holmesglen and Box Hill TAFEs who have used the pathway offered to further their study at Deakin. Across the board these students have demonstrated their excellent written skills including a great understanding of craft. These skills are most certainly attributable to the study they have undertaken in the current Writing course at TAFE. The proposed changes to the TAFE writing course will, I am sure, have a detrimental effect upon these excellent writing standards.

Yours sincerely,

Dr Jo-anne Scicluna
