Room 6

One of the things that has made my life a good deal easier this year is having a classroom of my own. I can sit in there and prepare work - I've even got a computer, but of course it is not connected to the total internet - Just the "White" list, but this is starting to be wider and wider. This is in the vestibule of the old church that Westmount has as its hall. Its quite near the road so it is a bit noisy by they have lined it with fluffy wall board. This is unfortunately off-cuts from other office jobs that have been done by a Brethren firm, so it is a variety of colours - mainly grey but quite a bit of orange.

The maximum class I have is 6. This is my year 12 maths class working hard. We are setting in place a new format for year 12 called the assignment. It doesn't really align itself with my teaching practice. Too often I prepare a whole unit of work and never use all of it because the needs of the students dictates we go another way. Normally classes at Westmount are not this small, but George - that's him on the right -  has an independent learning program because his neural circuity is not like everybody elses. However he has passed his first internal. I thought we could get him through as he is not unintelligent - just jumbled.

 This is my little nook - the windows are frosted but it is nice to get a bit of natural light. I'm even sorting through my filing cabinet  - after 9 years its getting quite full.

There is a huge amount of storage at the back of the class, but already it is starting to get filled up with various plans for Market Day. I think it might be quite cold in winter, but it does have air con. So when you think of me at work - you know what it looks like!
