I always knew living and teaching on a ship would bring its own unique points, but just as things are starting to feel pretty normal today I was woken up again to life while floating :)
When getting things organised in a 'normal' school usually its the janitor and school maintanance to keep on your side, suddenly ive had to start talks with: the Chief Officer and the Captain about space, for non-teachers: these are not normal terms to be heard around a school :D
Then stranger still we got the teachers handbook today:
section 3.something, protocol for seasickness (interestingly its illegal to throw up over the railing..)
section 3.something else, protocol for appointments; medical/hair (and these are the same categorie how?)
Then always important in schools, the emergency drills, but I dont remember previous schools making the difference between:
In-Port Emergency drill
At Sea Emergency drill..
In all unique, challenging, differnt, quirky, fun, you name - ive thought it!
Blog you all soon! God bless
