Well, here we are again. I still haven't written about the Gambia Trip for which I apologise. I will make sure I do it in the next week.
Yesterday was my first day back in school, and the first chance to get a look at the new headmaster during the morning's staff briefing. First impressions are good so I look forward to seeing what he will bring to the role. He said that no activity should take priority over any other, so maybe we won't lose as many lessons to sport this year as we have in the past. Here's hoping!
The lab refurbishments happened while we were gone. they're still putting the finishing touches to the new chemistry set up in lab 2 which looks great. Just a pity we don't get to use it in physics. The computer room refurb on the other hand looks like a total cop out. They've put done new flooring and ripped out the old teachers desk... and that's it! No storage, no new teachers desk or even a table to put the teacher's computer on. Nothing. Action man is going to be based in there and I think he has plans to scrounge bits of furniture from elsewhere in the school.
I heard a rumour yesterday that chem tech may have handed in his notice. Will let you know if that turns out to be true and post a link to the job advert when one appears.
I'm still waiting for confirmation of my TA timetable for the year. Hopefully it will materialise before lessons begin on Tuesday.
Here we go again! :)
