Kambah High opens new computer centre, for how long?

No matter where you are technology is sure to fail you at one point or another…but now all computer are up and running perfetcly….students are enjoying them and they are some of the best facilities in any ACT Government High School. Thank you Howard (Never thought I would say that!!) Its nice to know someone is looking out for us kids at Kambah High

Did the funding for the install come with any IT support, I wonder? We all know there are often teething problems with new machines (if you don’t have a Mac, that is!)

miz, true but it isn’t the school’s or the teachers or the students fault.

If those computers are now in the state which bubzie brags about, I’d be ashamed and not happy about my school community (students) who did it when I know from experience that the grant application takes ages to put together and teachers do it for the students.

‘overwhElming’

Nyssa, I think Bubzie is caught between the proverbial rock and hard place about Kambah High. But those kids need truly dedicated teachers to see them through what will probably be an emotionally difficult year. They will need a feisty fighter like you to keep it from overwhalming them.
Clearly they are getting the unfair and unfortunate implicit message (from the govt) that it is not PC to go to Kambah High, their school is somehow ‘crap’ (which of course it isn’t – I dare anyone who criticises it to go and actually check it out while the kids are there). It’s like kicking someone when they are down. Mr Barr and the rest, shame on you, and Kambah kids, be proud of your school.

simbo, true, but when you get even 1 student who is resentful….they can become a real pain in the arse.

They can spend most of their time disrupting the class and so no one learns. You’re dealing with their behaviour instead of doing your real job and teaching.

And yes, all it takes is 1.

There’ll always be students who resent any attempts to provide them with an education – who view school as a prison to be escaped from. It’s largely unavoidable.

So what if not everybody appreciates what you do? As long as you’re providing a service that you know matters, and you do it well, that should be all that you care about.

Well Kambah High has positions advertised in the secondary transfer round (out today).

I had thought of applying for a position there. I won’t let bubzie’s “opinion” tarnish my application but it does make you wonder whether all the work you do for the students will be appreciated.

actually, my reply there wasn’t too well structured either.
Ah well. It’s still better than bubzies, so i’ll continue to hang shit.

I really like the way like kids like use the word like excessively like when they’re talking like yeah and the way that punctuation like doesnt like exist anymore like its not important like
