    Went to SILs citizenship ceremony last night at robert blackwood. First time I’ve seen one. Have to say the sound in there was pretty good. God it dragged on though. 350 people. Went on for almost 3 hrs. Naturally lotta bored kids w/ low blood sugar getting shitty.

    I think the weirdest part was a 5 min video spruiking the city of monash. How many kms of cycle paths, how many parks, hospitals etc. etc. Not sure what that was all about.

    No aboriginal flag, just aussie which was odd considering they had a Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung? dude speak for 10 mins and play the didge. They should probably change that.

      My daughter’s graduation is coming up. Fuck knows how many hours of sitting and clapping there’ll be. The best part will be when I get to block school phone numbers, emails and delete Xuno.

        Never heard of xuno til now.

        If that was around when I went through I would’ve been in a little bit of trouble.

          Xuno is a school portal to have safe conversations between students, parents, teachers and admin. This is how safe it is.

          I receive an email to say there’s a message in Xuno for me. I open it up and there’s a note from a teacher.

          Dear parent. Just a quick a note to let you know Polly was a cunt in class today and there was an incident. We have rectified the problem on our end but we would like to handball this on to you now. Feel free to lash the child if need be. Cheers teacher.

          Wait a minute. Who the fuck is Polly? I don’t own a Polly. Oy kid, do you know Polly? She reads the message and informs me she does not.

          2nd email arrives “Please disregard the first email”

          This happened more than once.

            lol. Could work in the kids favour though.

            “Teacher said you did this”.

            “No I didn’t they’ve got it wrong before”

            “True, carry on”.

              True

              I wanna know how flustered the teacher is when they’ve opened my kid’s portal page and her photo, name and year level is there and they’re still writing to me about “Polly”.

              I have sent my kid on missions to find out about the mysterious incidents that I have been notified about then retracted.

                I’ve had to help teachers write up chronicles about students misbehaving in class and the platform they use has the student’s name in giant letters and a photo of the kid. Kinda hard to stuff that up, so Xuno mustn’t be amazing then
