Steam coming out my ears

Friday: Had to do an interview today to establish if I was a fit person to oversee an Outside School Hours Club (OSHC) which is already established in St Patrick's. It has become licenced and the paperwork etc. have gone into overdrive. The co-ordinator in our school spends six hours a week on the paperwork and cannot get it done in that time. I had to fill in a detailed form, six pages long, and provide certified documentation. I also had to study the relevant children services act and regulations prior to my interview which was to take about an hour. Well it took two hours and ten minutes. For starters, I was told that the book I had studied was out of date and given new copies of both the Act and Regulations. Then I had to answer a 25 question multiple choice paper followed by a paper with four scenarios. The jargon and language were both legalistic and foreign. I was late for another meeting and the more I rushed the slower I became. I got five questions 'wrong' and started to argue my case when I realised that this was only delaying matters. Besides there were two of them-one had come especially from Melbourne. For the scenarios I had eight or nine points but one or two were missing(eg you inform the Dept of Human Services if you have an allegation of bullying!) What a load of rubbish. Bureaucracy gone mad... I am a fit person to run a Primary School but have to go through this nonsense for a 'homework club' at our school.
