What a year it has been. the last few weeks have been a whirlwind of camps, reports and the generally craziness that come with end of term. I finish on Friday about 10.30 all going well, I have a suspicion i will have a very prompt form class who will just want to get their reports and go home. Plan is to wrap up all the house keeping on Thursday that include writing the testimonial for one of my Yr 12 who is leaving us. Having no senior dean is really hitting home. So the person with terrible grammar and spelling is writing a testimonial. I am just grateful I have excellent collogues who will help me out.
Looking back on the last two weeks is awesome. I had the best time on camp at Raglan. The weather played ball when it was required to, the we got the tents up and down dry and kids had a ball. the highlight for me was the rock climbing and the walk to the Bridal Veil falls. Both the geology and geography of the falls was breathtaking!
Overall camp was a great 3 days hanging out with an amazing bunch of my school future leaders and a great way for them to celebrate finishing exams. The only downside side it was a week after junior camps so I had to leave 3 days worth of relieve. that was stressful and hard work to organise. But everything went as planned and they got through everything with out incident which was a relief.
I was grateful to have 3 days while the juniors were or camp to get work done. having 3 interruption free days, except when I was supervising exams, was lovely and I got most of my Yr. 8 scheme review out of the way. Aim to have that finished this week as well. It is a very long to do list but it will get finished, at some stage this year.
Ok, so this will not be the final post of the year. I can feel a big year in review post. It will be long and mostly likely posted inn many stages as it has just been such a wonderful year with so many new experience and meeting inspirational and amazing teachers along the way, but more of that in its own post.
In closing, all I can say is bring on Thursday, last teaching day of the year!!!!! It will make the Christmas party on Friday just that much sweeter. So other than a couple of meetings next week that is me finished for the year. Bring on December 5 last day of school and December 16 my long and much anticipated surgery date!!!!
Until next post
Miss G science over and out
