Re: Thats All Folks
It's at this time of year that I wish I worked at a private school, I still have 2 weeks to go!!
But with a total of 11 weeks leave a year I'm not really complaining. I often wonder if I would be able to cope with only 4 weeks leave like most people have!
Merry Christmas to all who finish this week and thanks for all the helpful advice I've picked up from you all this year

Re: Thats All Folks
Yes must of us still have 2 weeks to go. Hang in their folks. Hold on to the holidays now around the corner. Not too long to go. I've so much to do yet, in a way I am so glad I still have 2 weeks to go. I have a chemical pick up, then I will need to clean that room, so many bookes to get out. Plus general tidy up. One more course to do, on Tuesday at Bankstown. ELectric tag man due on Wednesday, that will be so
Merry Christmas to you all
Merry Christmas to you all

Re: Thats All Folks
Hi All,
I still have a week and a half to go. We use some T&D time banked during the year, to cover Thurs & Fri, then we knock off Wednesday lunch time, and go down the local for a nice lunch. (officially, the SSO Xmas get together) A pleasant way to end the year. But, like Pommy, I'm glad I'm still going, I've got heaps to get through. It's good though, with no pesky pracs, teachers, kids etc. I reckon I've got more done in the last week than I have all year!!
To everyone on Chemtalk, I wish you a safe, Happy Xmas and holiday time with your families, and I look forward to chatting with you all in 2009.
Cheers,
Lisa

Re: Thats All Folks
I've just had the BEST cleanout in the chem store ever! My chemistry teacher and I have been meaning to do this literally for years!!
Of course we still have to store the flammable stuff in the correct place until it's picked up, so it's still actually in there, but YIPPEE - it's all sorted out!!
Apparently our region is banding together to have one massive combined collection, at each individual school's cost of course. So we're ready for it when it comes. Yay!
And the holidays are looking better every day
Merry Christmas!

Re: Thats All Folks
pommy you said that you are going to a course in bankstown on wed. is that the data logger one?...I am going to one in Btown on Wed too. It would be interesting to catch up with someone that I only read about in Chemtalk...if this is the course are you bringing a logger?...we dont own one yet but are buying it early next year so i was hoping to look at other peoples and get a feel for whats around and hopefully a bit of feed back for which ones are good...our science teacher doesn't want onw that has to hook up to a computer all the time...anyway Christmas wishes to all and a Happy New Year for next one........ :

Re: Thats All Folks
Hey!!!
Some people have all the luck.I"m sure those of you who are finished now,certainly deserve the break after a busy year. Correct me if I'm wrong,but don't you return before us (DET) next year????
We have the new Yr.12 assessment tasks all of next week.Busy, busy!!! However I am grateful that Senior Science are the only ones doing a practical. All the rest are paper assessments only.
Some of you won't read this until you return next year,so I am still going to wish you all a happy, healthy and safe Christmas and New Year anyway.Be kind to one another and keep a thought for those who are less fortunate than yourselves.
Come back to the chemtalk site well rested and with a clear mind.
Take care
Mother

Re: Thats All Folks
Well labbies, tomorrow is my last day, thank goodness for that
I would just like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your support, kind words and hilarious jokes this past year For me it has been a very very tough year and many times I have near enough resigned, but thanks to you lot , I got through it all in the end! Hopefully next year will be a better year only 3 out of 12 of our science teachers remain next year, the rest will be new, and hopefully a bit nicer to me
I wish you a a very merry christmas, a happy new year (fingersX) and a fantastic holiday! I hope you all get the R&R you all really deserve!
Lots of Luv,
Sassi

Re: Thats All Folks
Dear Sassi - Can't believe you have been mistreated by your Science staff!!! I have found it's usually the ones that are not very sure of themselves or their subject and are completely disorganised - they tend to bite!! But the very good teachers, the ones that really know their stuff, they are ALWAYS willing to share advise and help out, so lets hope your luck has changed and you get a better bunch for 2009 Best wishes to everyone for Christmas and the New Year, have a great holiday! Love this site!! Judy Gould
Re: Thats All Folks
Dear judygee and sassi,
I have had some shockers here this year - so I sympathise with you sassi.. and judygee you must have been very very lucky! I have been very close to doing the same as you sassi - only one week ago I went home seriously thinking about looking for a shelf-packing job or ANYTHING else than work with my lot here.. I opened the mail box and found a heap of bills.. so i sighed, decided a pay packet was necessary ... and will front up back here next year - unless I get lucky over the holidays...

I am back at work now (started yesterday, 19th Jan) while you are all enjoying your final week of holidays. I know I can't complain about my weeks off, but I do wish I didn't have to work this week because the Country Music Festival is on and knowing I have to get up for work the next morning makes going out and enjoying the entertainment that much more difficult! I will still get a few concerts in, and a rodeo and the awards night, and with no kids there is no pressure at work really, so it's not all that bad... Would be nice to have the week to just cruise around though! I hope everyone has had an enjoyable break and is ready to start the new school year with enthusiasm!
