Today was one of those extremely exhaustive days,
It started off with assembly time for my year 9s. In it, I spoke to them about the rules of the school. This is a new school for them. They all come from the nearby middle school, which does not have as high expectations as ours. I reminded them that any fighting was not allowed. Jokes involving touching other people were also not permissible. We have high expectation for them and I made sure to drill this message into my students.
After seeing them off to their respective classes, I contacted the SEBD specialist for my most difficult student, Peter (not his true name). She gave me an appointment for the end of the month. The prefect of discipline will also be paying him a visit at the end of the week, so hopefully, things will start moving in his regard. I am determined that he should get all the help that he needs whilst attending our school.
My role involves also giving a lot of support. Teachers also came to give the names of those students who were disrupting lessons. Others came to the office to have support regarding the curriculum and others to ask questions about the Pink October activities which will be held on Friday.
The list is endless. The afternoon was filled with students who came for one thing or another. One had an altercation with her teacher and she was sent to cool off in my office. I called another boy to discuss his behaviour in class and also on the school transport. I called another one to talk to him that teachers were concerned that he had not gotten his homework.
All in all, I was very happy when the bell rang for dismissal at 3pm!
