Welcome to our new friends

Life does not stand still.

There are always changes.

Some of our TTP Members are at the start of a big change in their lives.  Tomorrow we welcome new people to TTP.

We all remember when we were like them and just finished school.  For some of us, it is a distant memory. 

Finishing school is a BIG change.

We all remember what it was like when we first finished school.  You miss your friends, but then you find them again and you can be friends as adults.  Some people from school we don't miss and we don't want to see again (unless of course they turn over a new leaf and become mature adults).

Some people are happy to leave school.  They feel free.   Some people are very sad.  Here at TTP we don't know how our new people will feel. 

We think that our new Members might feel scared.  Nervous.  Excited.  Anxious.  We will welcome them and do all we can to make them feel comfortable. 

We know what it feels like to be new.  When we first started at TTP we were new.  Now they are the new people.  We can teach them what we learnt, which is acceptance, tolerance and respect.

Here at The Tertiary PLACE, we're all in this together.  We hope you enjoy your time here.

The case of the missing tape measure

Have you ever had one of those days where you can't find what you're looking for?

We've had a week like that!

Our tape measure disappeared and could not be found.

We couldn't find it on Monday.

We couldn't find it on Tuesday.

We didn't even look on Wednesday because it was Australia Day and we were too busy celebrating.

We couldn't find it on Thursday.

We were going to give up on Friday.

Then the most amazing thing happened.  We all worked together as a team.

We looked high and low.  Far and wide.  Up and down. 

Vinnie looked.  Lily looked.  Crystal-Lee looked.  Sandra looked.

We couldn't find the little black tape measure ANYWHERE!!

There seemed little hope for our long lost tape measure.  How would we ever be able to measure again?  It was a tragic situation. 

The hero of our story started looking everywhere the tape measure shouldn't be.  He looked in the staffroom and in the art room and then finally .... the craft room.  There in plain view was the tape measure.  Who thought to look there?  Who is the tape measure hero?  Who is the finder of all things lost?  MICHAEL!!!!! 

Three cheers for Michael.  We know who we'll call next time something goes missing.
