Re: Certificate course @ Bankstown TAFE

A few years back I did 'School Assistant- in Science' as a follow on to Cert IV Lab Techniques, through TAFE, I am sure it was a Cert III, that was in '04.

Re: Biology models

Hi Rita, The only skull we have here is a pig, which I found in a tree actually, lol. We had quite a few feral pigs near where I live and they were hunted/baited, and gotten rid of, so someone put a skull in a tree, for me :thumbup: . It was really revolting :yuck: , mossy/mouldy and had ants living...

Re: trolleys

Not sure if this will help, but I got all the'old' TV trolleys (they are called'Tuffy' trolley)in the school. They were being replaced with smartboards and bigger TV trolleys, just a thought if your school is being moved and maybe ask the other schools if they have anything like that. I am happy wit...

Re: Annual Chemical Stock Take

I do my stocktake around mid year, no one has said it needs to at a particular time, so it gets done when convenient, same as other. I also send a copy to our Business Manager and HOD.
