[Perdita]

I am keeping fingers crossed for you to get the job, if you have not been emailed that you have not got it, must be promising.

[Kirsty :]]

I really hope so. I need to get alot more independance, boost my confidence levels soo mcuh and jsut, stop the family from giving me money all the time because I'm 17 and we're not exactly well off and I want to earn my own money and help my family out for a change so I really really want this job lol

we have a new school day - 4 lessons in the morning, 1 in the afternoon. It was rather weird today with the new timings but I'm sure I'll get used to it.

My school has changed their school day. Visitors thought it was lazy that we didn't start lessons until 8.55am after a 20min tutor. The day starts at 8.40 with lessons for two hours then a 20min break then two more hours of lessons and dinner at 1pm Another lesson after that then a 20minute tutor at the end of the day.

I'm so pleased that I've left, couldn't start lessons that early in the morning. I don't know if some of the students there will cope with four hours of lessons in the morning.

On top of that, the school has a new building that is going to be used whilst one of the old buildings is being knocked down. There are also portakabins as there isn't enough classroom space so I can imagine it's going to be a fun day tomorrow when they all go back

at my old school we had to be in at 8.25am for registration and then lessons started at 8.40am and lunch wasnt til 1.10pm and we had a 15min break in between, we didnt finish school til 3.25pm either! although i have to admit, i still eat lunch later im never hungry for it earlier than that, although that might be cos i just got used to it after eating late at school

Is this at high school? Geesh you guys start early!

We have Form at 9 until about 25past 9 then we have two lessons, a 15min break, another lesson, a 50minute lunch then form for 10 minutes, two more lessons and finish at half three, but half two on a Wed, and we still do the same amount of lessons on wednesday, just no form.

yeh that was at my secondary school. although my primary school wasnt that much difference, we had registration at 8.45am and lessons started at 9am, lunch was at 12.30pm and we left at 3.25pm. your school starts quite late lol compared to any school where i live! and i cant believe you leave earlier on wednesdays!

We didn't have any frees in Year 11 either. I had a tutor in Years 7-9 who I got on really well with and who got rid of us in the end because she couldn't put up with the amount of immature boys that we had in the group. She has a Year 12 tutor group this year and the 6th form secretary woman who we had to register with today was flicking through the timetable and I was sure I saw that tutor group on mine but it wasn't

Hmm timetable.. well I miss Business because we have to stay in our tutor group tomorrow for an hour, then have a free. Luckily my friend has a free at that time or I wouldn't have anything to do because I don't have a lesson until after break. My Business/Economics teacher is so going to get fed up on me; I have her two lessons in a row on one of the days and I have her twice a day on quite a few of the days. She gets Wednesdays as a break though because I don't have her at all on that day lol!

On Tuesday I have one lesson after another in the same room. If we don't get a seating plan which most teacher's don't give then I won't even have to leave my seat

Went to my friend's house after we enrolled. We didn't know where the time went. We had to eat lunch quickly in the end before I missed the bus.

The council They're charging £45 a month for a bus pass and I thought it was ridiculous enough that I had to pay to go and collect it from school. When I got there they didn't make me sign for it or anything and the envelope actually had my address on the front. Then I open it and find that the thing expires on 19th December! Now I'll have to pay to go and pick up a new pass in January, it seems completely stupid to me because I'm paying up until July that I have to have different passes in that time. I bet the driver decides to charge me on the 19th because it says it expires on that day.

Looking forward to seeing who is in my classes tomorrow. I know that the two friends I put down on my form are in my tutor group but I don't know who else is in it.

There was a portaloo in the school today Made me think of the post about a portacabin further up.

i cant believe you have to pay £45 a month for a bus pass, thats well expensive! do you have to use 2 different bus companies or something? and is it just to use to and from school or will you be able to use it at weekends and stuff?

[Chloe O'brien]

That is outrageous Kim. I pay £24 a month for a bus pass for Marley. The Council won't provide one for her as I chose to send her to a school outside the catchment area, but the pass she has she can use it on anytime. Up here if you have a disability or require addition support you get a free travel pass for you and 1 other person, a carer perhaps. It can be used on buses, trains or coaches.

I'm thinking it's expensive, too. I used to pay £150 a year for my unirider. Which company is it? Are there any student tickets available?

thats why i was thinking it was expensive, i only pay £100 a year (well probably about 9months cos its a uni year) and i can use it on any bus i like of that company in the whole county! i know thats a special discounted student ticket, but even the tickets everyone can by is only £9 a week (thats not the whole county, just the whole town and surrounding area) but thats still less than £45 a month
