Morning,
I have just been told some great news... We are getting an extra class for each 7-10, from start of next year. As I am all alone here and already struggling wih the work load a bit, the teachers have backed me up and convinced the head of science that I need some help. Now all that is left is to do is to convince the principle, If any of you know someone who might be interested it might help the issue. I will keep you posted on what happens, its very early days yet, but please keep your fingers crossed or i might just go crazy (ier)

Re: Part-time technician in North Sydney
How many students are in your school, Sassi? Is there some sort of student ratio for working out technician hours in NSW?
I really hope you get your extra hours or some one else to help- it makes such a huge difference

Re: Part-time technician in North Sydney
Well I am not actually sure how many students we have. But I know that since I started here a year ago, we went from having 4 classes in yr 7-10 to 6 classes, and now they are increasing to 7. yr11-12 have 3 classes each, but I assume that will start going up as well... This year we have also got an extra 5 new teachers (or is it 6, starting to get confusing...) I already work 40hrs a week so dont really want to do more than that, but desperatly need some help, one can only hope
Re: Part-time technician in North Sydney
It sounds as though you have roughly the same number of classes as we do. I am a full time technician, working a 37.5hr week(supposedly!) and a 41 week year. I have a lab assistant here 37.5 hrs a week and working a 40 week year. We are extremely fortunate and I am extremely grateful for the help, but I just don't know how you are managing entirely on your own- and I'm sure you are not the only one out there who is struggling under the load!
Re: Part-time technician in North Sydney
I agree, with that number of classes, you need at least a part time help. Those prac assessables are a killer if you are on your own.

Drunk Lada??? Should I be worried here? Lada is my lovely future mum-inlaw (and she really is lovely) for those of you who didnt know...
And I got some bad news now, principal didnt approve it :( :( :( But head teacher said she'd keep fightin for me... The work loadis a struggle, but there are times even here when I all of a sudden have nothing to do... Not this term though when we have prac exams for all of yr 7 - 12, oh well keeps me busy and the time flies!
