VIC | ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL

Let me tell you about my day today.

Arrived at school and had about 20 unread emails, about half of which needed a response quickly as they were about student wellbeing matters. Did some work on our elective blocks for next year, collapsed some classes and reallocated students. Allocated teachers to classes on next years timetable and started to confirm which days our part time staff are on site next year. Had a class which meant an hour where I could switch off my emails. Replaced teachers on yard duty as they were sick and we've run out of other options. Phone calls to parents to update them on some behaviour concerns and our observations, mostly good things there. Met with several of our faculty heads to update them on staffing for next year, classes that we know we don't yet have a teacher for, what we want to advertise and set timelines for those processes. Consultative committee where we looked at our positions of responsibility, remuneration, time allowances and set timelines for how we will fill those roles. Meeting with the rest of the principal team to discuss upcoming major events and end of year 12 events. Call to regional staff to discuss some financial challenges and brainstorm some solutions.

Since getting home from work, I have written lessons for tomorrow and Friday, finished writing my last SAC for the year, read some practice exams to decide how I want to use them in class in the coming weeks, made a list of policies I need to review in the coming week in preparation for our next school council, sent student diary proofs back to the printer with feedback and finished preparing risk assessments for some upcoming excursions.

I wish I had time to just call random meetings for no purpose to waste time. Trust me, any meeting I call has a point, and will be as short as possible. Every minute I spend in a meeting is a minute I'm not supporting the rest of my school, engaging with teachers, students, parents, making positive change on the ground and not from my office.

And this is just a part of the diary of one AP in my school. I can't imagne how busy the others in my school were today. And then there's our principal who, some days, we feel like we don't get to talk to unless we make a booking. So yeah, we're busy running the school, taking care of things which allow our teachers to focus on their work of teaching students and facilitating the learning program.

“Engaging” randomly with students and teachers seems Stupid. The teachers all want him to go away. Every teacher/former teacher I’ve ever talked to is horrified that admins exist and is Ruins their lives or something

Do these people even realize that there’s a Clique System ffs. They’re better off not knowing imo.

The meeting thing is what every fag white collar phony does. Always in love with having meetings while complaining about meetings.

These things always go the same way and it’s not that different from what e-mail girls say. Always “answering” e-mails first thing. They never Start new e-mails. Maybe he should Start a fresh e-mail chain. No one admits to doing this for some reason. It makes them sound Reactive and as if they’re not driving anything and always have people waiting on them. They’re never the ones following up to get shit done. Always the one that others are waiting on.
