I have been commissioned!

Thursday: There was a mass in the afternoon for all the Catholic schools in the district. I joined in the choir, did a reading and met loads of people. I am never going to remember their names-even the woman who promised me Saw Doctor's tickets. TMI. But I do know where she lives! Anyway, after communion all the new teachers were invited around the altar where we were prayed for and welcomed into our schools. It is called comissioning and is done every year. The mass and the chat afterwards really brought home to me the tight bond and support structure that exists among Catholic schools.

I sat in on one of the literacy interviews today-more info tomorrow. Still a bit of information overload and just not enough time to take everything in. I am really enjoying the people I work with and the freshness and fun associated with this new experience. It is hard work though.
