Hi Robb
A lot of R&R for you is called for, me thinks!!!! It has been a big year.
Hope you are back with us next year
Take care

I am very surprised your teacher doesn't know the chemistry behind the reagent. I'm sure she is trained in chemistry right??? At your rate of pay it really is not for you to know.

It will be developed by the end of 2010 and will be implemented in 2011. Have a great day,lovely and quiet now our Yr.12 are sitting...

Sorry Teresa. I know it isn't your fault. It's just that the powers that be within the department obviously thought it was not important enough for us to participate.What is wrong with this state of NSW!!!!! I could go on forever. Someone give be a butter box!!!!! My friend is just going to give me ...

Hi Robb My,my all this study and work is going to make you such an expert that I fear you are certain to leave us. How wonderful that you have the incentive and drive to continue with Uni. to better your qualifications.However I believe scientists receive paltry wages.Please correct me if I am wrong...

Hi all I have just read that all DET schools in NSW will not be participating in the National Survey!!!! :w00t: :w00t: :w00t: How very,very dissapointing.I have a lab technician friend who works at the MAG's school here and she will fax me a copy of hers when she receives it. I'm very annoyed about ...

Is anyone else experiencing the same problem???
Cheers

Hi there Sue Take my word for it!!!! There will be no one who will want to swap jobs with you. Your head teacher will be very reluctant to have this happen I'm sure. He/she will have to train whoever is to replace you, and they are too busy to do this. I think you can feel secure.Seems like your pri...

Have just heard that the survey we are anxiously waiting for has begun its trek!!! One of the private schools here has received their copy.
