old tram revitalised...

some find vital life

📷2021 - October - My last Victorian school, Casey Grammar, purchased an old Melbourne tram as a creative space for classes. Sister schools Clyde + Balcombe Grammar also had old trams. Quite a unique feature for the schools. pic.twitter.com/Wee5TgnC7E

Retirement on the horizon...

For some reason tonight, I decided to dig around my photo archives. I found this one. The previous day, I confirmed my retirement from secondary teaching. I felt the strangest sadness. Came into work the next day, + my desk had new residents. Staff took a last photo of me there. pic.twitter.com/KbWGdxnHzX
