Spent the day in the VPA i.e. The Victorian Principals' Association. Boy were we looked after. The president Fred Ackerman, Executive Officer Rosemary White and Ruth Brooks Executive Assistant all gave unselfishly of their time. After over five hours, we now have a reasonable overview of the educational system and a detailed insight into the organisation and running of their association. They share offices with the VASSP (Secondary Principals) the APF (joint Primary and Secondary Principals). The APF have recently received negotiating rights on salaries and working conditions of principals. The AEU (Australian Educational Union) Victoria Branch (the union representing all categories of teachers) are none too happy with this development.
Lunch was nice (on them - we have to mind IPPN's money!) and having our own office (VIPPN) was so nice that we did not want to leave. This we gotta do again-sometime soon.
Nathanna na Seachtaine:
"Going to the footey on Saturday. I will be barracking for Carlton and Gerry will be barracking for Brisbane."
"You want some skinny milk with that?"
"Don't obstruct the smoke door."
