Look who came to school with me today... Bob Marley! This is Year 9's annual extra-credit option: just like Boo Radley, carve a soap figurine that I can actually recognise.

Oh my goodness. I like the sentiment, but I sure wish you could spell, child!

Today has been all about marking Year 9's Odyssey board games.

Gwendolen. How absurd to talk of the equality of the sexes! Where questions of self-sacrifice are concerned, men are infinitely beyond us.

Jack. We are. [Clasps hands with Algernon.]

- from The Importance of Being Earnest, with some added ham!

Opening night of The Importance of Being Earnest!

Here is one of my favourite scenes - Gwendolen and Cecily being extremely nice to each other, shortly before erupting into all-out war involving cake and bread and butter... not pretty!

Dress rehearsal! One long day from 7am to 3pm. How did we cope? I think Merriman's attitude says it all.

The set is taking shape! - Gearing up for Act II of The Importance of Being Earnest.

Work in progress - drops for Act II of The Importance of Being Earnest. There is no way I could paint like this! I am in awe of Sharon and her crew.

Ministry Day. So many great memories... how can I choose?

It had to be this one. The look on this girl's face says it all.

This is the doorway to the Teachers' Appreciation lunch. A scarily sumptuous Mexican buffet... although, personally, I'd rather be appreciated by having a day off ;)

I know, teachers and their endless holidays... :p

Q. What are all these people doing?

A. They're looking at a solar eclipse, through the wonders of modern science that are pinhole cameras and metalwork masks.

"Stories are the flowers of English," one of my students said the other day. For me (somewhat less poetically), orchids are the flowers of Thailand. These belong to my neighbours down the street.
