It was the best of years, it was the worst of years

So where to begin when reflecting on the year to date as the finish line approaches? ? ?

I guess I'll start with all good leaders like a challenge, so I guess that makes me a good leader? : )

As a quick snapshot... During this year I've had-

* 8 different staff revolve through 2 positions
* The worst timetable rotation/blocking/allocations EVER
(which has made staffing classes fun)
* The MASSIVE responsibility of launching & leading the F1 in Schools Illawarra hub
* To welcome a brand new DP & Principal to the school
* Lead a sprinkling of unhappy people
* To of course do all the usual faculty leadership & iiate stuff
* Teach my classes to my usual awesome standard

& throw in to that mix, managing the player-coach gig for the mighty Sutherland Sharks State League Bball team which meant 2 & 3 trips to Sydney and all over NSW throughout the season, which certainly clocks some kms : )

Oh, & let's not forget sneaking enough quality time in to spend with my beautiful fam & friends!

Now question time?
Would I change a thing?

A: NO WAY, NOT IN THE SLIGHTEST, I'M TRULY BLESSED WITH AN AWESOME ALL ROUND LIFE.

But where to now?

Well of course the answer is simple...
Keep on improving, keep on learning & keep on building on the already strong foundations of success already in place.

So what's in store for 2015?

Calling it now : )

I HAVE A YEAR 11 DT CLASS AGAIN
(after leading the implementation of DT in Year 9 a few years ago)
So I am going to LOVE this class!
#DesignIsLife!

Our school will excel in all our regional & state wide competitions.

Our Illawarra Hub & School will 'take off' with F1 in Schools going to a whole new level with more staff involved, more students engaged (if that's even possible LOL) & the hub expanding to 6 active teams.

And on a more simple note, work will be far more settled with a functional timetable, smooth allocation of classes (fingers crossed) & of course a happy and hard working AWESOME Technologies & Creative Arts team!

So get excited all & I say, "Bring on 2015!"

Excited as always, & possibly with an over use of exclaimation marks in my text?!?!?!

Thanks to all 2 or 3 of my blog readers ; )
