Groundskeeper-Willy

The Blog of a Groundskeeper-Willy who is employed in a state high school in NSW. I like my job but can't live on the money $412.50 per week. {Now $428.56!} {Now $436.99!} {Now $455.27!}To live I will have to return to my trade so I have started looking, but so that my experiences in the education system are not consigned to the rubbish bin of posterity I am going to record them here.

Professional Intelligent Courteous

Consider this exchange.

A silver Mitsubishi 4WD enters the skool car park, it noses around hunting for a parking space finally coming to rest in the no parking area.
The door opens a man gets out

Willy; "Good afternoon sir may I ask who you are and what is the purpose of your visit to ………High School"

Man; "Who the FUCK ARE YOU a security guard?"


Willy; "No sir I'm the General Assistant"

Man; with very angry tone "Well I'm a teacher from Bonnyrigg High School and I’m here to pick something up OK!"

Willy; "Thank you, just as long as you are not a parent as parents are not permitted to park in the car park."

Man eyes Willy with stare of death, which Willy meets and stares him down.


As I have said at the top Professional Intelligent Courteous but I fear none of the above apply

Do you want your children taught by this man?

You can tell a lot about someone by the way they treat others.
