Still working on ours ...

school still interviewing for one Sec posn (Text/ Home Eco) and three  
Prim posns
just had an external  candidate turn down a Leading Teacher posn,
anothert LT position no appointment,
another internal teacher still awaiting results of interviews for  
regional posn,
another just told us he won't be returning after LSL semester 1 next  
year,
4 periods Maths, 4 p Sci, 8 p PE uncovered (and no appropriate staff  
available),
two textiles classes in the same room at same time for three periods,
staffing figures into deficit so boss does not want to employ anyone  
else

... ..  thus the variables continue to fluctuate ....

but I have to have a new timetable up and running for the next two  
weeks  starting Monday - HeadStart program .... complications for  
this include

one Sec staff member finished today (retired) so not available next week
Primary classes using Sec staff (ICT, PE) now clash with new  
Headstart timetable (rooms and staff) so Prim staff lose APT (not happy)
one Prim staff member still away sick (seven weeks)
one Sec staff member medical treatment all next week
another Sec staff having wisdom teeth out - at least two days away
two of 2008 Year 12 teachers on LSL

plus reports due on Wednesday

... staff wonder why I look worn down ...
