Laugh, laugh, I nearly died (The Rolling Stones)


Okay, so funniest thing that happened during my first meeting with my management team (of 6) was when I was asked how I wished to be addressed around the school in front of students.

Erm, Mr Purdy was my response.

Then I was asked how I wished to be addressed by staff in the staff areas - was it Mr Purdy, Head Teacher or Head? 

Erm...Warren...was my tentative reply!!

They all laughed and so did I.

Seems they are used to a higher level of formality in the school than I need.

And way higher than I am used to at Kaipara Campus in the mighty Maungaturoto. 

I'm sure my colleagues there will get a kick out of that!
