Pastures New
5:41 pm on the 18th of April, 2008
I’m pleased to let you know that on Monday I was interviewed for a position at Hawick High School, and subsequently offered the job which I accepted.
I’ll take up my new position in August for the new term, with my own classroom and possibly a workshop to call my very own too, unheard of delights for a techy teacher :-).
I’ll be very sad to leave Ross High as my time there has been very positive and it is a very busy department with a lot of great staff, and a lot of fantastic classes that I will be feeling very guilty about leaving behind. However this is the way things go in the current system.
The situation for probationers this year is looking pretty grim and there aren’t many jobs coming up for teachers of my subjects anywhere in Scotland so I am absolutely delighted to have secured a full-time permanent contract, with the added bonus that this is a school and department that I am really looking forward to working in. It’s a huge relief.

Thanks to you all.
@David I hope so too, and I hope to get some of my pupils/classes blogging as well.
@Ollie I’m please about where I’m going to, but sad to leave East Lothian, it’s been a great place to do my probation year.
@Ian Not yet, likely to be a mix of Craft and Design, Graphic Communication, and PCS Wood. Hopefully some Product Design from 2009 onwards too.

Many congratulations Stuart!
East Lothian’s loss is certainly the borders gain!

Congratulations Stewart! But I know at least one Standard Grade class who will be very sorry to see you go. And as for the swimming club - well, please come back and visit us. Your time with us has been hugely appreciated.

Congratulations. I’m sorry that you’re leaving East Lothian but I know that you will do a great job in Hawick. Give my regards to Alan Williamson.
