I had a FaceBook contact with an ex-student of mine, Dynese. I taught her in 1989 at Cecil Andrews Senior High School. She was in a couple of my classes at that school and made my time there tolerable. I was only at the school for a year before I took Long Service Leave at half pay for 12 months.
The school was not like a previous school I had worked at, it had a different clientele, not generally happy about education and prone to a bit of classroom disruption. This was offset by some students who were interested in what was being taught. Sort of like Welcome Back Kotter with a few of the niceties. After a year and a fair bit of innovative teaching I think we all came out of it OK.
Here is a photo I took of my Year 10 science class. Dynese is there....not a great shot of her, and I won’t point her out in the photo. There are a lot of stories about that group which would be
movie material. Love to have a class reunion before I croak it.
