School Time!

Now that school has resumed, I find myself going to school almost every day. Weird aye!

So it’s back to every day swimming which is good for the kids! I can resume my duties as head lifeguide.

Something which was planned on the drive back to Balgo from Tilmouth Well was a mass teacher water fight. I wasn’t too sure if it would actually happen in the end but believe it or not, it happened and although a lot of the staff were too cool to join in, it was still great fun! We played a 3 team capture the flag style game and I believe the reason it went so well was the thorough rule discussion the night before where we covered every aspect of the game so that there was no room for discussion.

We also recently had a pretty spectacular visitor in the form of Australian rock icon, musical legend, inspiring dancer and… oh yea federal minister for schools, Peter Garrett!!! He wasn’t at school for long but it was great to meet him! It was pretty funny because we put on a spread for him in the staff room and we were all waiting for him. I asked everyone, “So what are we meant to do when he comes in? Are we supposed to stand or something?” and naturally everyone was cracking jokes and saying how I was being silly. As soon as he walked in the door, literally everybody stood straight up. I have a gift, what can I say.

Well it is currently a long weekend in WA so while you’re all out in your fancy Halloween costumes partying, be jealous of my crazy Balgo night… J
