Full time teaching 2012

Daughter Helen has been doing relief teaching over the last few weeks and it has built up to about 4 days a week on average. She will now have to advise those schools that she has been appointed to a school and cannot do relief for the rest of the year.

The school she has been appointed to is about 30 minutes drive from here. The only downside to this appointment is that it is a 'difficult to staff school' and that is nothing to do with with the building. It usually means the children and/or parents, can be difficult. She is looking forward to commencing there in Term2. If she can remain there for two years, then she will join the ranks of the Permanent Officers and not sweat about getting a job each year. There is a small monetary allowance for teachers who take up appointments at those schools designated as difficult to staff.

She will be teaching Kindergarten and Pre-Primary and the class size is quite small, so it could be OK.
