Tom’s School Desk

Well this last week or so I have been slowly ramping up the effort of getting ready to return to another school year.

2008 holds a few fresh challenges for me. I am taking up a new teaching position at St Bede’s North Balwyn. As well as a new school I am teaching Grade 6 and I have leadership position of ICT coordinator,all of which I have not done before.

I must admit that this last week I have been asking myself was it the best decision to move from my previous school. I have been extremely nervous about the unknowns with any new change and have found myself thinking that “better the devil you do know than the one you don’t!!” However I do remember feeling the same way when I first started teaching 3 years ago and I know that the feelings of anxiety and nervousness will pass.

I have been welcomed and supported warmly by the staff at St Bede’s and I am looking forward to meeting my students and their families.
