Message to form 1A 2009-2010

As I was to starting to write my message to form 2A 2010-2011 for VIRTUS (the school's magazine/yearbook) I remembered the message I wrote to this group after their first yr @ Northfields ...

So here it is:

Fate has been particularly nice to me this year; mother-to-be and form teacher of form 1A. My kids (as I like to call the form 1A) have been and still are my inspiration to motherhood. I like to think that there is this special bond between them and me; this special bond that usually unites a mother to her children. We've been sharing good times; the birthdays and awards, as well as the bad times, the injuries, the departure of one of ours. We have learned to know each other, to respect and to trust each other. Unfortunately due to my big bump during camp time, I could not be of the party (I would have been more trouble than help); but my heart was with them and as soon as they reached school I ran to see them to have feedback of the two days spent at camp. All this to say, thank you form 1A for making every day at Northfields a special day.

CAS coordinator

Today during our staff briefing it was announced that I am the new CAS coordinator.

How did this happen??
hummm let's see it all started because I was helping the new PE faculty head (CB) who was at that time in charge of PreCAS (CAS for lower and middle school)  ... Free during the PreCAS lessons so why not help me colleague ...
From only helping I was asked to be in charge of one of the 'choice of PreCAS' session ...
then introduced as CAS coordinator by the head of upper school in a House Assembly/meeting ...
and here I am ... the new CAS coordinator!

New CAS coordinator who will get her Harry Potter office key tomorrow from the previous CAS coordinator (KD) ...
key along with files, logbooks, etc ...

Heard that there's a lot of extra work to it all ...
actually today CB told me that it took her 2 weeks to organise the PreCAS choice for this term ... promising ...
And KD told me that I have to mark the CAS logbooks for this Friday ... Joy!

Hope it's all gonna be worth it ... finance wise and career wise ... as well as personal enrichment wise :p
+ let's hope it's not gonna be too much work to deal with work, house and baby ... :)
