No, they haven't. I think I should chase them up.

Re: what is the pay scale of a labbie
Damn, that table looked nice before I submitted it!!
The first row is level 1, salary point 1. Second row is still level 1, but salary point 2. Continues down until we get to row 7 which is level 2, salary point 1. Second last row is the start of level 3.
Hope that makes a bit of sense.

Re: what is the pay scale of a labbie
Below is the pay scale for Lab Techs in Catholic schools in Tasmania. This new scale was brought in last year. Level one is only a "lab assistant", so majority of people are on level 2 or above. I am permanent (get sick leave etc) and on level 2.1 which equates to $37.651 per hour. level s...

Re: Dehydration of sugar using sulfuric acid
Thanks for the replies people. We took the approach that Mel mentioned, we decided that for this teacher it was a no go.

Does anyone still do this? Had a request from a grade 9 teacher to do this as a demo.

Re: WELCOME BACK EVERYONE
I took the last 2 weeks of term off, so had 4 weeks away. Spent the first part on the Gold Coast for the Commonwealth Games and ended in Melbourne via Sydney and Canberra. Had a great time away and loved the games! Sad it went all to quickly.

Re: Turn around time for Equipment orders?
I placed an order with Serrata 17 November and still waiting for one item on back order. At the opposite end of the scale I emailed a list of stationery and other items to our finance officer (he does the school ordering for that type of thing, I do all science specific items) at 10:24am yesterday a...

Re: PDP
I have been a few times before to CONASTA and there has always been relevant things for Lab Techs, especially the workshops.Samantham wrote:I looked at the Consta conference. It looked like it was more for teachers than labbies. Have you been before? Was it relevant?

I'm glad I didn't just imagine that you had posted something like that chart. I was just ended up trying to credit you for the wrong one.

I think I have seen this on here before. Maybe from Labbie? I can't remember, maybe I just imagined it!

Re: Goodbye - it's been a journey
I echo Merilyn's words, thank you for all your help and support over the years. You will be missed.
Also, I am glad I am in a state that recognises that we are in a specialised position with specialised training and treated as such.
All the best for the future.

Re: Aprons or Lab coats
We use lab coats here. Every student has to supply their own. We have 4 spare on a rack in each lab. The spare ones are navy blue so we can see straight away if they didn't bring their own and their prac mark gets marked down accordingly. If more than 4 students forget their lab coat (very rarely ha...

Re: Lighting Bunsens
We use matches here. I send out full boxes and get them back full minus the 3 or 4 that were used!
I buy redheads, but I might look for Samba and give them a go.
