Tuesday was an eventful day at Byron Bay High School. Steve showed me some exciting local animals. The first was the bearded dragon. It thought that it was camouflaged so well that it didn't even acknowledge us until Steve poked it with a stick. I have a great video of it turning and looking to check Steve out, but I can't upload it to Weebly because I'd have to pay for my subscription... Anyways I'll try to find a way to upload that to Facebook at some point. The other interesting animal we say is a type of owl called a Tawny Fogmouth. The first time Steve pointed one out to me a couple of weeks ago I couldn't even pick it out from the tree bark because it was camouflaged so well, but this time it was sitting out on the branch and very easy to spot. Steve said likely would stay there all day and night even if people walked very close to the tree.
Tuesday evening was the first parent-teacher interview night (there is another Thursday) and since prac teachers typically don't sit in for the interviews Zach and I helped out by running the barbie. The school sponsors teachers at Orphanage in Cambodia and all of the proceeds from the sausage sizzle went to those teachers. Apparently the teachers only earn about $150 USD per month in Cambodia, and over the two hours of selling sausages and kebabs we raised enough to pay for one month for one teacher. It was a fun time because we got to meet some of the parents of our students and serve up some delicious grub at the same time!
