Friday 6th of March 2009, at around 2.45pm my phone rang. It was a lady from the Dept. of Education and Training office in Sydney. They had rang me the week before to confirm my chosen teaching areas, in particular my choice of the Central Coast. I figured something was going on so I was not altogether surprised by the phone call.
However, what the lady caller had to say in the next 5 minutes completely took me by surprise! We are offering you a permanent teaching position at *insert school name here* would you be interested? Uhhhh, WOULD I?!?! Trying to act cool, calm and collected... like these sorts of opportunities just happen to appear every day... why yes indeed, I would. 'Good girl' she said LOL. Yikes. I wonder what she would have said if I had said 'no thanks, but thanks for asking'...
She provided me with school details and informed me that an acceptance package would be emailed to me and I will need to post it back ASAP.
After I got off the phone, what did I do??? SCREAMED and danced around like a prissy little girl of course :D
I haven't started teaching yet, and in fact I have not even done a single day of casual teaching. Well and truly diving right in there!!!
My first day of teaching, 28th of April 2009.
