Australia's Science Forum

We are now SAO School admin Officers, once upon a time we were
SASS School Assistant Support staff, before that Anxcillary staff, I can not go any more back than that.

Yes welcome back every one, do hope you all had a great holiday, and are all ready for a great and BUSY 2008. I had 6 weeks off, due to a bad left ankle, nice to be able to walk again, can not quite run or dance, but I am getting their. I have to see to my fume cupboards, I have none. But welcome ev...

Yes, In Nov 05 our fume cupboards were condemned. I am to get 2 new fume cupboards. I managed to take a large bottle of acid to a local school. And left it their, and would return to use the fume cupboards to make up stock required. I have now run out of acid, most of the bottles are empty. God only...

Well done Richard, I learn more and more as each day goes by. It may not always be in Science, but rights at work. What a big help this site has turned out to be. From what I do understand, if we SAO's take 9 days off, no one will replace us, but if we take 11 days or more off. If they can find some...

I also would be most interested, in how it works. Our G.A.'s do not get the same holidays as us SAO's in NSW. Perhaps it works a little like that.

G.A. = General Assisants or Handy man.

Yes great photos Robb, thank you for posting them. Were you at Lithgow???

I have not tried this, but have been told, rubbing alcohol, make up a paste of nappy san, and soak over the weekend, in nappy san, putting the paste onto the stain. On the Monday morning, rub with the rubbing alcohol, and finish off with a warm wash. Not a cold wash, or the whole thing may set. I ha...

Is this for teacher or students?, I under stood, students must have back support, perhaps I am wrong. Check with OH&S.

Hi Robyn, Give Q-stores a ring, about the gloves, Steve Nugent, had the name of the gloves incorrect. He called them Nitrile?????????? gloves, but Q-stores stall had them their. Its a silly name for a glove, but for the life of me I can not remember the name. They are very long gloves indeed, to use...

Yes I believe you need to copy and paste useing a word document. Its not much fun.

Q-stores do sell the gloves. Leather apron I also think it is from Q-stores, hardware section.

The chap at St Marys, its only loss, is very very little. Ours came with the school in 1961, and still going strong. We have been told, to buy a new box, every five years, as ours is still in the orginal box, but how to dispose of the box, no one can tell me. Gena should be in lead covering Beca sho...
