what school aren't you working at next year?

It really is a shit thing to have to go through. We have over 20 staff leaving this year due to reductions in numbers. Not quite as horrible as your situation but it's still "challenging".

Melba College - what used to be Croydon & Maroondah Colleges have merged and next year will have a new name and a new uniform! For the near future, Croydon will be the junior campus & Maroondah the senior but they want to end up on one campus eventually.

my job is safe but we lost our AV tech so I now have to do all of the TV taping etc

i sold the boss on clickview and & haven't done any taping for two years. dropped the foxtel sub at the same time. We got the money for clickview by cutting everyone's budget for dvds - which works, cause they don't need to buy dvds off VEA if we have clickview. Luckily, it's a per-student subscription, so it ended up being pretty affordable.
