In assembly, in discussions with a Head Teacher listening to concerns or planning for the future, with staff devising curriculum or planning input for RS, PHSE, SEAL, or any other initiative which comes across our corporate door, in class working on any issue from leading a song-writing session, introducing our work with life-limited children in Romania, representing local church in school communities, working through induction for older students visiting Romania to take part in our work, joining a group on a trip (so far he has been to Paris as well as numerous places in the UK), in the staff room listening to staff and trying to be supportive in what is, by anyone's reckoning, a stressful and demanding workplace.
