I have been retired from teaching for some 16 years. I was fortunate that the subjects I taught were mostly electives where students opted to take them and were more likely to work well with good results.....Woodwork, Metalwork, Graphic Arts and Photography. I have a lot of ex-students I count as friends.
In the Western Australian education system I taught at seven schools, some of which could be called, just OK. Most of my service in W.A. schools was at Willetton Senior High School. Willetton SHS was a wonderful place..it still is. It is the largest Government school producing outstanding results. This year’s enrolments are around 2,000.
Yesterday I drove there to photograph work on a $80M upgrade of the school. Phase 1 is almost completed at $32M. When the whole upgrade is completed the 22 demountable classrooms will be taken away and it will once again look like a school rather than dongas at a mining site. I look forward to the commissioning of the new school in 2016 (If I’m still around).
Demountables.
Old and new
Almost ready for occupation
