The study design is subject to change at the end of the year, however they may keep textbooks the same if the content doesn't change. If you keep it, it would probably be a good secondary reference for her anyway!

my psych teacher was talking about it, and apparently they're getting rid of visual perception and sleep (i think), perhaps merging it with the brain and nervous system. she also mentioned mental health being added as an area of study - it sounded really interesting

Just in case anyone wanted to know, "The accreditation period for Psychology Units 3 and 4 has been extended until 31 December 2010."
The decision made by VCAA...
