In Information Technology the PAT counts 25% of the total promotion mark for the subject (i.e. 100 marks out of 400 marks). It is implemented across the last two terms of the school year and should be undertaken as one extended task, which is broken down into different phases or a series of smaller activities. The IT PAT comprises of three phases: * Investigation and Analysis * Design * Coding, Implementation and Internal Documentation, including Presentation and General Evaluation

Scenario for the 2012 Grade 11 PAT:
Many people work full time and do not always have time to collect items such as prescription medicine, daily requirements such as bread and milk, etc. or to transport children to and collect them from extracurricular activities. Others, do not have transport and need to use public transport to collect essential items. Another group chooses to shop on the Internet and these items need to be delivered.
