at<BR>Ashwood as replacement for a Physics teacher on LWOP. Had a good year,
good<BR>school and fantastic, supportive staff. At the end of the year, when I
had<BR>to make decisions about job applications, I decided that I did not need

two<BR>work each week.<BR><BR>Have spent most of the last two weeks reading

too have taken a 'SEE' change this year - after the better part of 6<BR>>
years at <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Bentleigh</st1:City>
<st1:State w:st="on">SC</st1:State></st1:place> I decided late last year that
it was time for a<BR>> change, so have taken up a position at Lauriston
Girls' School. I have<BR>> done the exact opposite of you Andrew - I am 25
minutes further from home,<BR>> the school day is longer, and I have gone
from 0.7 time fraction to full<BR>> time, but I look forward to the
challenges of juggling what was advertised<BR>> as 'an exciting teaching
opportunity' , with a son doing year 12, a<BR>> daughter in year 10
attempting year 11 maths methods, constant renovation<BR>> of my house, and
the continued support of my husband's business (yes I get<BR>> to do the
books, the pays, the PAYG tax, the BAS statements and all that<BR>> boring
stuff!). I must admit I will have to give up the landscape design<BR>> work
that I have done for the last 12 years.<BR>><BR>> Fast (too fast!!)
approaching the 55/11 retirement option, I see this as<BR>> an opportunity
to make new friends, learn new skills, face new challenges,<BR>> move out
of the comfort zone, and see how the other half lives! And as<BR>> they say
'if you don't use it, you lose it'! My only regret is that my<BR>> decision
to move schools was made after the kids had finished the year and<BR>> so I
did not have the opportunity to say goodbye to them. And of course I<BR>>
will so much miss all my friends at Bentleigh.<BR>><BR>> All the best to
everyone for the 2006 school year, and a big special<BR>> thanks to Kevork
- if it was not for this list I would have never known<BR>> about this
position.<BR>><BR>> PS Kevork - I have taken a year's LWOP from the
education department so my<BR>> email remains unchanged.<BR>><BR>>

years? The industry and the IT<BR>> teaching<BR>> community is set to
change dramatically as the many 50+ year olds follow<BR>> Janelle into semi

actually thinking I should<BR>> plan for retirement.<BR>>> How many
are prepared to own up to being the wrong side of 50?<BR>>><BR>> I
too tipped over the other side of 50 last year and for the first time<BR>>
since I came into teaching I won't be teaching mainstream IT this
