there are some girls who do computer based subjects such as SDD and IPT, just as there are some guys who do dance or drama etc
pretty uncommon though

I have a girl at my school who does it. I would've done it if it didnt run on the same line as chem.

In my school you can pretty much guarantee that all the technical (e.g IPT or SDD) or scientifically intensive (e.g Physics) subjects have almost no girls or not a single girl at all.

All the girls like to pick the easy subjects or the less-intensive science subjects.
At our school, Biology has lots of girls in it, half the Chemistry class is full of girls and there are no girls at all in our Physics class.

Deal with it, many girls just don't want to take the technical or scientifically intensive subjects.

Our class is five guys. One girl dropped it sometime last year, I give her crap all the time because I actually had every single subject with her but through her subject chops and changes we now share just 2/6, haha.

i picked SDD and i'm a girl :D i'm the only one though, but this year in my IST class i'm one of 4 girls and there are about 40 doing the course. i completely agree with Forbidden. though, most of my friends pick things like CAFS, textiles and hospitality but deep down i think if girls are willing 2 take the plunge they can be just as good if not better at IT than boys.

Official BOS enrolment statistics for 2007:

Subject: Software Design & Development
Units: 2
Females: 147
Males: 1730
Total Enrolments: 1877

So there you have it: 7.83% of SDD students are girls, the rest are guys.

For comparison, IPT has 1517 girls, 3744 guys, 5261 total, which means it's 28.83% girls.

It's somewhere on the boardofstudies website, I've seen it before.

Very interesting, unfortunately no girls doing software at our school. We have 2 doing IPT and one different girl doing IT.

Now what was that I heard you say, Mrs Bishop, 'skills shortage'? Seriously, out of 67000 HSC students this year only around 10% of them are doing an IT course. Oh well, all the more $100k+ jobs for us :D
