It's here! Half term is finally here. It's been a long, tiring slog but after 1.15pm today we are out of here for 2 weeks. Well, I'm coming in for a couple of days to get some jobs done, but there won't be any kids or teachers so it still counts as a holiday.
The last thursday before autumn half term is always 'Steepo' day. Steepo is a 2.5 mile inter-house cross-country run which all the students have to participate in. Quite a few of the teaching staff run as well and this year one of the IT technicians decided we ought to put together a support staff team so yesterday afternoon I joined 3 IT guys, the H&S manager, 2 ladies from accounts, the HR manager, the catering manager, the head of maintenance, the lady who runs the uniform shop, one of the electricians, one of the cleaners,our bio tech and a couple of others for a bit of a run.
It was actually really good fun. A lot of the non-running teachers were marshalling the course and shouting out encouragement as we passed and it was great to be involved in something all the kids were doing.
I just got the results list, and apparently I came 13th out of 18 support staff, which I think is a pretty respectable result. Who knows, maybe next year I'll be fitter and quicker. :)
It was a good way to end what has been a busy but very productive 7 weeks and I'm looking forward to a rest.
