Some of my School work

So here at Kuluva School of Enrolled Comprehensive Nursing we wear Uniforms! The motto of the school is 'Called To Serve'. The students have two uniforms Polo shirts and skirt / trousours for when they are in the class room. Dresses and aprons for the ladies and tunics and trousorus with a white coat for the gentlemen when on duty on the wards. I have a white dress that I struggle to keep clean through the day and have to wear a petty coat despite the heat!

Every first Wednesday moring of the month we have school assembly. Students and tutors gather together and sing the National Anthem, then the Nurses Anthem and lastly we sing the School Anthem. Then any notices that need to be conveyed are given. Including disipline issues, smartness, upcoming exams, payement of fees etc etc...


Students are expected to clean their class rooms every friday afternoon. Here they are scrubbing the floor and cleaning the slatted windows!

Soon after I arrived I found various models tucked in a cupboard being unused. I have dug them out and been giving practical sessions to groups of four students at a time. Here they are learning the mechanisms of a spontaneous breech delivery. We then went on to learn emergency manouvers in a breech delivery.

Here the students are learning all about suturing on a sponge model. I have done this session with 3 classes now! We discuss the theory - revising what they learnt in the class room and then they all get to practice on the sponge models. I have had students come to me later and tell me of how they have had the opportunity to practice what they have learnt with me.

The least enjoyable work of a teacher is exam setting and marking. Here are a pile of papers I have marked this year. I have one more stash coming my way tomorrow!

Laura's Little House!

Here are some pictures for you to get an idea of my new home! I moved into this house in September - the other house had become rather large and lonesome. This house became available in September so I requested to move. It is still on the same compound just 5 door up from my previous house!

The back of the house - the gardner is making a good effor at bringing some plants amoung the rocks!

The approach from the back of the house!

This is my living room/ dinner

Kitchen! I am without an oven - my neighbours have kindly lent me a bread maker so I can make bread and was able to have a birthday cake!

These are my enemies - they build up very quickly - termites - the main war is above the bathroom door- I sweap them away and blast the hole with 'Doom' (insetc spray) but the return in time!

My office where I do all my lesson preparations! On the wall are my deadlines, term plan for lessons and the school calender!

My bedroom is nice an spacious. I get the sunrise shining in.
