<DIV><FONT face=Arial>While I am now semi-retired and actually living in
Richmond<FONT size=5> :-)</FONT> can I be allowed to agree with Kent. I was in
Mirboo North and Traralgon for 22 years before moving to Melbourne in
2005.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Short, after school, pds in the city are really b***** all
use to teachers in regional areas. Look at the logistics: a two hour pd
session plus, for Kent, six hours travelling - driving of course.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Six hours driving! How many tonnes of CO<SUB>2</SUB> is
that worth?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>So please VITTA put more effort into arranging on-line
pd.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Should save you costs ( no venue hire for example) and
make the pd available to everyone at minimal cost.</FONT></DIV>

considers following the example of STAV and having special lower prices for
retire teachers</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial><BR></FONT></DIV><FONT face=Arial>> Once again, just
the PD I'd love to attend but am 3hrs away!<BR>> C'mon VITTA, you said you
guys were going to help us rural folk out back a few weeks on this very issue
with PD. This bloke, if he's come from NZ, surely you told him before he arrived
that we had this issue and could he help out with a 'rural tour'!
<BR>> <BR>> Heck, if the 'Rogue Traders' can do a tour of the
bush...why cant he?<BR>> <BR>> For me to attend it would cost me 2
days time unless I drive home and arrive at about 1.00am the following morning!
(then its just 1 day)<BR>> <BR>> Give 's a break and offer something
we CAN attend!! PLEEEEZ.<BR>> <BR>> I'd like to build my PD
hours up too, but it seems being a rural teacher is going to prevent me getting
my compulsory 20hrs per year. (Thanks VIT for THAT one!)<BR>> <BR>>
