Australia's Science Forum

I did my Advanced Diploma studies at Newcastle TAFE and was fantastic but that was many years ago

My new HOD really likes what is on offer and should be sending back my details next week yah

we have a separate broken glass box(empty photopaper box) in the prep-room for broken glass only and once it's full we we tape it up with the lid and write all over it before putting it into the hopper. no broken glass can go into any other bin.

We have 6 labs, 4 Jnr ones and two Snr. The only time a lab is free is when a year group is out for a day. We have two in the prep-room and this keeps us above water as we also look after Middle School maths equipment and get that ready too. So we have anything from 10-20 pracs a day when it's reall...

I'm from Newcastle and the fires have made me very stressed as some of the fires have come very close to my relatives places. Hoping the worse will be over soon

Plus some Teachers go off the beaten track and need to be pulled in. I would not give 9/10 yr olds bunsens or too much glasswa...

My family are in Port Stephens and have been very busy fighting fires and protecting their own home. My Dad and Brother had a close call while fighting fires in Willamtown which caused damage to their tanker. I'll be glad when it's all over and gives everyone a break

I help with the science budget and do all the orders as well

Since most of our AP's teach maths, I drew up a letter with lots of figures and stuff to prove how much money they would save in the long run and the ratio of students to the amount of prac...

I'm with the CEO and I have the full MSDS sheets up in the front office too with a complete list in the first folder of what we have and the mini's in a couple of folders in the prep-room, Always have it up-dated every five years. During our last audit I was asked were they all were and was glad tha...

Thank you for those numbers, will get onto it now

could we have session one at the next conference , I really like what is on offer

Happy Birthday Smiley, enjoy your day

Since I grew up in Newcastle I'm going to show our HD and see if I can drive up for it plus get to visit my daughter who has moved back up there for UNI
