thank you Volker and Liviu

Hi, I'm still a little confused about how to do this, I looked at categories but could not see how to link a teacher and room.

Attached is a Curriculum map of the School.

This shows the Curriculum and many of the constraints of the school

-each small rectangular box contains teacher - Subject, then underneath periods - room

So, for example, at Yr12 in column A - teacher "DW" takes CHEM (Chemistry) for 5 periods, 2 doubles (5.2) in room F8

The same colored columns in each year means those classes must run at the same time.

What is the best way to set up this Yr12 structure?

Also, look at Yr9. There are 3 classes - 9A, 9B and 9C each of these classes have the same kids who do English, Maths, Sci, SOSE, COMM.

However, all 3 groups of kids come together for electives in the colored columns. The same subjects in the same color must run at the same time (only within that Year)

I'd like to try and import this rather than type it all in. I've been playing around with importing and activities.csv and it works for the basic classes - Eng, Maths, sci, SOSE and COMM but can't figure out how to put the colored columns in.

If I can figure this out I can show a lot of other Australian schools how to use FET

Thanks Volker,
you are very helpful

Hello,
I'm trying to set up FET for an Australian School, but I'm not sure exactly.

I understand how to break up Yr7 into 3 groups, like 7A, 7B, 7C with the same subjects, etc. But how do I then set up a slightly different structure for them when all 3 groups come together for electives? So typically 7A, 7B, 7C will each have about 25 students each but then when we run electives we will run four classes, at the same time - ART, MUS, Wood, Drama where the kids choose which class they would like.

Often Australian Schools call this a Block or a LINE.

THen as we get to Yr11 and 12 the whole year is run as a block or a line
