Bulletin - 17.12.12

Hi everyone,

Right then, one more week...

1. Dates for diaries
Wed 19th December: 2-3: Department Meeting; 3-4 Personal Directed Time
Wed 19th December: Dept Christmas Meal
Fri 21st December: END OF TERM (school finishes at end of P3)

2. Dept detention
We discussed whether people would be happy to volunteer to run dept detentions so that we could set detentions on a daily basis rather than running over a week, etc. There seemed to be some enthusiasm for the idea at the meeting but so far only myself and Louise have signed up on the whiteboard in the dept office. This is not an attempt to pressure people into doing it - I just need to ascertain whether people haven't signed up because they haven't got round to it or because they are not wanting to volunteer (in which case, I need to come up with another solution).

3. Thank you
This has been, by anyone's standards, an incredibly long and tiring term. Between mock exams and coursework and exam board madness and everything else that makes up the lot of the 21st century teacher, you have conducted yourselves with enthusiasm, professionalism and no small amount of good humour. I cannot think of a group of people that care more about what they do or work harder to do it. So, from me and everyone you teach: thank you and Happy Christmas.

Ho. Ho. Ho.
