For the past 8 years Amy has worked at the same school, Belfast Primary, the first teaching job she ever got! She's started with a Year 3 & 4 class, changed to Years 7 & 8, taken on a senior management role and had become a part of the furniture. She wasn't looking for a new job, and was very happy in her new state of the art classrooms and the position she's worked herself into - yet out of the blue came a position that messed with her head! The senior Year 7 & 8 teacher role at South New Brighton Primary School became available - in Amy's desired age level, a permanent poition, with management roles, in an area she grew up in, where James works, where she went to school, and where we'd just bought a new home! It seemed like someone from above had made the role for her - and although it was a painful decision, she applied. She was offered the job 20 minutes after completing a 90 minute interview - and 2012 is a new start! A class of only 20 students sounds like a dream, in a school of 520 pupils. Final week at Belfast had many tears and lots of beautiful cards, gifts and words were given. Below is a photo at the Year 7 & 8 Graduation in her final week. Belfast will always have a special place in her heart but 2012 is a new start on so many levels!
