Saying Goodbye to Spring
7 years ago
I planned an excursion to South Bank on the day of the fight without realising it. The train was packed, Filipinos from every corner of South East Queensland turned up. It was a perfect day for a day out. It was the last weekend of the school holiday too.
We went to a museum and walked around in South Bank. We saw the tail end of the fight standing outside a bar in Queen Street - with others. It was packed in and out.
Oh and Jeff Horn won. I have a lot of thoughts on this but I will keep it to myself.
I have a son who’s in Primary School so I thought, I should run a series about school and maybe on the Educational system here in Australia. I will be writing about what I know and my experiences around the school where my son goes to.
As a background, the Tatapilla (my son) goes to a public school – here it is called State school. The school is about a ten minute walk from home. It is quite close to our home as I can hear the bells for the school session. In cold days, he is being driven to school but on warm days, he rides his bike or walk. One day, I picked him up walking wearing flat ballerina shoes – it was so hot that the glue on my shoes melted but that’s another story for another day.
The Primary school starts from Prep up to year 6. There’s a prescribed age when a child can start Primary school.
