Happy 16th Tannie, hope it was good.

finally got the house back to myself, everyones back at work school and everything else. Feels normal again. Just looked at getting a train from southport to Manchester Picadilly on a sunday and the only way is to go to Wigan then a bus to bolton and then a train back, why can't these routes be simple.

Just got back from a 2 hour thing at college - alot is changing

we had a new principle join after xmas this year and he decided to make a hell of a lot of changes, for a start he made all the staff re-apply for their jobs with no guarentee they would get it back.

They heard about jobs i think about middle of June-ish and the news they got caused over 150 staff members to quit (before had there had been about 5 strikes over this) it was in the local paper for quite a few weeks before and after we broke up for summer becuase of this new principle dude.

Well this 2 hour thing today, we learnt that these staff members had still not been replaced and they are very understaffed right now so on a temorary basis we have two days a week off (thursday and friday) However another change this bloke made was to have us be set 2 targets per day, if by half past 4 the tasks are not completed we could be staying till like half 8 till they have been completed

if it then gets to half past 8 and they still are not done then we go but we are back in on saturday morning

if you get 3 strikes (like bad attendance and uncompleted tasks etc) then you are thrown out of the college (this includes lateness unless you have a very good reason) you still get qualifications but its not the ones you should be getting.

Each student will also be forced to sign up for enrichment (at least one - its not optional - oh how fun) and if you sign up and dont go that also counts as a strike (as it counts towards your attendance)

Because of the changes we get 2 days off up till xmas when itll all change because they hope to be fully staffed by then so till then its a 3 day week because of staff and room shortage (due to building work)

We aint in again till friday then next week we aint in monday but we are in tuesday and wednesday then we are in thursday afternoon but going off site which will cost us £5 to go and do some team building stuff (including rounders - which i despise - if i wanted to play rounders id being doing sports)

So year this year is going to be so much fun

Thats ridiculous. Enrichment classes, two targets per day and college on Saturday

I hope it doesn't go too badly. I don't see how you can complete your courses and get a decent grade doing three days per week.
What are the targets like?

We get a new head in December, a woman, so it should be fun to see what changes she puts in place.

**Xx-Vicky-xX** · 04-09-2007, 16:51

Dont know about the targets yet that will be the fun part, but the 3 day a week thing is only temp until they get staff again, the compulsory enrichment thing is crap though they never have anything im interested in except learning to play an instument but thats pointless because my parents wont let me have an instrument so why bother learning to play one for a year then stop its stupid

**Kim** · 04-09-2007, 20:37

I'm not surprised you're wound up about that! Eek, I was annoyed enough at the work I had to do today. I'm unimpressed at the fact my school's decided to set PE by ability.

I haven't done PE for 2 years as I couldn't cope with it, and now I think I'm going to be forced into doing it. I'm in set 5 (bottom.) I don't want to go to a bottom set lesson ever or I'll get a load more stick for it

**Tannie** · 04-09-2007, 21:04

Well today wasn't to bad.
Went to speak to my pupil support teacher about leaving and he said to speak to my parent's about it as it's also up to them so i've just spoke to them about it and i need to get the info and then we'll discuss it further

Went to my friends after school today was fun

Went to the park, sang and just generally had a laugh
