Kia ora koutou katoa!
I am currently sitting in the SENCO office in one of the High Schools I work in. She is absolutely flat out. She gets no breaks and also has a teaching load. Students are wandering in for devices, to check their timetable, to take some time, to get something to eat etc. She responds to them all with such care and resepect. She is amazing. Being the Liaison in a secondary school is very very different from primary schools. I sometimes feel this is not fully understood. I think this group is very much needed. I am also part of the RTLB Aotearoa PLN in the Te Wharewhakaruruhau (TWW) ropu along with Anna. Thank you for creating this group!

Hi,
Having come from 7 years as Senco in a large high school back to RTLB this year I totally get what you're saying! It is a crazy job and so, so demanding. Anything at all liaison can do to help will be so appreciated I am sure. Understanding the differences between being Senco in primary vs secondary is really important and I agree, perhaps not well understood by all. Great to have this platform now for sharing and helping each other. Thank you :-)
