I’ve been shot

I hate to keep happy news to myself, so I’ll say this now:
I got targetted!!
Not in a ‘with a shotgun/arrow’ kind of way, but in a ‘the DET has offered me a permanent full time teaching position in an IO class in a large mainstream primary school in West Blacktown, to start in January 2006′ kind of way.
Woo Hoo!!
Many thanks must go to God - who knows exactly where he wants me to be and when, even when I do not. The cool thing about having to wait to be randomly rung up and told of your appointment to a particular place, is that I can trust that God will put me where he wants me and I have much less chance of potentially making an unwise decision! Mainly because I really don’t have much of a decision to make. I can’t really reject the offer, because I would ultimately be cast to the depths of the waiting list for teaching positions, never to see the flourescent light of my own classroom again; left forever to wander in the purgatory of casual teaching.
Knowing where I’ll be, and a little about what I’ll be doing next year makes me feel more secure, and means we can get on with planning next year a little more thoroughly. More details anon.
I’m excited.

IO is moderate intellectual disability - I’ll be teaching a class of about 9 kids apparently between the ages of Kindy and Year 6!! What a challange! The school is Crawford PPS, in Doonside. I’ve heard mixed reports…

Ohhhhh I see, I see. Righto, well… God has it under control Lorien, it’s all good. You just have to trust that He knows exactly why you’ve been placed at Crawford PPS
Once again…. CONGRATULATIONS on getting a job, it’s fantastic news!

Thank you all!
I’ve visited the school and it seems good. I’m going in again tomorrow to move some stuff in, so it feels quite real and immediate now!
