[Year 12 IT Apps] OT: building next year's timetable

[Robert Hind]

Hi Graham and all you other lucky Phils in similar positions,

Done it all - well not really - but certainly timetable, daily org, centralised computerised reporting. So you develop a fine sensitivity to the feelings of others, a thick skin, and perhaps stress - no of course stress does not exist, some polly told us that - could it have been Jeff before he became involved with Beyond Blue?

    PS I'm sti! ll struggling to build next year's timetable. Are there other schools out there still hiring staff?


  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 ...
