update on practicum

Randwick Girls High School did not work out but thankfully South Sydney High School has and I start there today. I really have not much of an idea as to what I will be teaching, but Legal Studies and Geography (Year 11) were mentioned! This weekend, I just collapsed at home. I had been so stressed by organising the practicum and tying up things at work that it all caught up with me. Stayed in bed and slept. Feel much better today and am really looking forward to seeing this school. It reminds me a lot of my own state school - which was one of the biggest in WA (Willetton Senior High School). It has a lot of the same facilities and I think it quite big. It will be good to get out and try something new.

Found this rather scary story this morning whilst eating breakfast. White flight leaves system segregated by class SMH

Also - solidarity with the striking Victorian teachers - let's hope the government listens to them. End lip service and pay up Mr Premier.
