Re: Survey - How many students at your school vs lab techs

We have approx 1050 students - years 7 - 12, 16 teachers, 6 labs & me. (The teachers teach other subjects as well, not only Science). I work approx 71/2 to 8 hrs per day & have all school holidays off. The Head of Dept's made the rule that all teachers do one prac per class a week.
