Dinner with friends

[plakboek]

Last night our college held another good school council dinner at a local TAFE restaurant. This is an annual tradition to salute the efforts of all our teacher aides, support staff and non-teaching workers at the college.

There were a mix of different people on my table including employees. Together I managed to weave some interesting threads trough a thank you speech that mentioned that we all help:

• Students that fall over cracks and need a band-aid (first-aid staff)
• Students that fall through the cracks and need a help up (student welfare)
  
• Patch and fill the cracks in the building by students (caretaker)
• Students that are taught to jump over cracks (sport coaches)
• Path the cracks in the student computers and school network (IT support staff)

We are all united by the a common thread of helping students.
