thursday island

Last week I was in beautiful Thursday Island. I didn't do any observations but I did spend time in the classroom working with the students - Josephine was there teaching computers to a group of Access students. I enjoyed that very much - enjoyed meeting the students and having a look around the island.

I managed to talk to Regina (admin officer) about TROPIC, so she is now aware of it. She seemed very interested. Intriguing things that came up - when I mentioned the behaviour management aspect, Regina wanted to know if this could be applied to staff. The other thing I noted was that behaviour issues are much more of a problem outside the classroom - ie problems that arise during the residentials, especially the longer ones.
