Thank you. I'll have a read

Teachers can access equipment but tend not to!

Thanks Labbie! It's a small private (Christian) school.

Do other school labs have policies/rules about the number of experiments that can be done in a week? I work alone 18 hours per week and have about 17 experiments ordered for the next 2 weeks including 4 VCE Chem/Biol SACs. I sent out a letter to the science teachers saying I was fully booked until A...

Thanks, everyone, for your replies. A conversation may be necessary before the year is over!

Thanks, everyone, for your responses. Sounds like I'm not on a great wicket!!
