If you miss school due to understandable reasons (e.g. sickness, mental health, family reasons etc..), have your parents contact your year coordinator to cover your absences
If you arrive after the first 5 minutes of class and do not hear the roll called, assume it has already been called and tell your teacher your arrival time so they can log this so that your parents do not receive an absence text.

In this unit, you will learn about the contexts and purposes of graphic design and how this leads graphic designers through their process to engage an audience. We will look at how graphic design has been used to promote social justice issues throughout history, inspiring, informing and persuading individuals and specific groups of people. We will then explore real-world topics where you will create a visual campaign based on a design challenge. During the unit, you'll explore how to use colours, textures and shapes to show feelings, attitudes, and experiences in your graphic images.
