@arpie the only reason I was given was that they didn’t need me anymore. Then today one of the student teachers burst in all excited because he was going to be given a special authority to teach next year, so I guess I know why they didn’t need me.
So after 3 years teaching there I’ll be saying goodbye in 6 weeks. There might be a teacher shortage but it would seem that there isn’t a lot of jobs advertised at the moment so I will have to just wait and see if I come up on any lists for principals in terms of contracts.
The one thing I maintain about myself is that I’m very good at my job, and as I work in a tough school I run a tight ship in my classroom, which benefits the kids but has made the leadership look bad I suppose so there is another reason.
I need to see if I can freeze my mortgage once I have a final diagnosis and plan in place. Then I have to check if my super has income protection and if I can access it if need be while I am unable to work. I have my sister who said she would help but I find that very difficult.
I FINALLY made contact with a breast cancer nurse today who is pretty concerned that I am 2 weeks post diagnosis and I’m still 3 weeks from an appointment so she is going to try and get an appointment earlier than that. I no longer owe my workplace anything and will lose my accumulated sick leave once I’m no longer working so am planning multiple days off for the rest of the year so I can have some time to organise what I might need in the next few weeks/months. Hopefully she will call me tomorrow.
