Christ almighty, we’re ankle deep into February already. In barely eighteen [18!!!] more days, my oldest – and loudest – beautiful boy will begin his journey through the Tasmanian educational system. Yes, the time for Kindergarten has arrived!
While I am certain that Henry will enjoy, and indeed flourish in the new environment, I do fear for the welfare of his teacher. He’s a bright boy, but headstrong. Firm of opinion (and even firmer of resolve), I suspect that he will attempt a classroom putsch!
Be warned.
Whatever happens, he’ll be sure to have an easier time of it than I did, Why, my school was so rough we had our own coroner!
Which leads me to today’s Sunday Top Five; [In Chronological Order] My Top Five Educational Institutions That I Have Attended!
- Upper Burnie Primary School
- Parklands High School
- Hellyer College
- The University Of Tasmania
- The School of Hard Knocks
When I look at that list of schools, it seems remarkably thin. If you’ve made it this far how many did you attend? Who holds the record?

And I still think, whenever I start a new establishment, "they're going to find me out". All that education, no guarantee of common sense or intellect.
Jackie, FIVE unis? Crikey Moses! You must running up one hell of a debt!
;D
To be fair, my understanding is that Upper Burnie Primary is set to be merged with two others next year…
