Yeah agreed. I belive you've been told your those were the numbers so I don't think you're lying or being dishonest, but that seems dubious

Well unless the school executive principal is flat lying to the faces of the p&f - hey he could be - but as the secretary of the p&f (was called p&c in Sydney) for the last 4 years he had no reason to lie to me. There is nothing to gain from doing so. I’ve also seen the teachers listings for 2022 vs 2021 first hand for my son’s school.

I don't think people are doubting your school, but I also don't think its logical to extrapolate that across the state. My sons school has gained teachers.

Some people are just drama queens I guess. They'll be planning for the absoloute worse case of everything and probably want others to be ready too. Again, I don't think you are dishonest or anything stupid like that, but again that seems crazy high. If it is right (which it could be I guess) the follow up comment about not extrapolating the data is my response if it is right.

i know for a fact my school let go of a lot of teachers last year however it seems they’ve been able to replace them all pretty quickly, so i’m guessing this number is a bit inflated

My son’s school has over 30% of the teaching faculty not returning, that’s not even including those in the admin functions, and it’s similar at surrounding schools. It’s also due to the fact those first 2 weeks of school were to be the predicted “peak” in Qld, which is already happening in nsw and vic. 

A vast majority of my family are in pedagogy at various levels from casual to executives and whilst I don't doubt that what you might have heard is false, it doesn't seem realistic. Schools have one of the strongest 'the show must go on' mentalities of any industry I've seen to the point that in the face of disaster they will still chug along at some capacity. Merge classes, throw them all in the hall, floating teachers, etc. The pressure to stay open is immense because schools going down means a lot of disruption for other workers. 

On that though I feel that this can be explained with Occam's razer; they just wanna keep unvaccinated children safe.

Yeah, Qld is 88% single dose right now, and will be well above 90% by the time the academic year starts.

But your comment would suggest that the education sector is specifically more anti vax than the general population and that its only 70% vaccinated, 30% unvaccinated needing replacement.

Righto.

We’re already past 90% single?

Thats Age 16+, annoyingly I can't find the full population statistics but I'm assuming its what @Gazza is referring. If anyone can link that would be appreciated.
 

Oh right, must have had the numbers switched in my head.

Look i'm sure most of us will agree with you about the facade not fitting the location or any of the surrounding theming - however, although a recent addition, I think its fair to say that the folks who made that decision are no longer in charge of making those decisions.

Gary Weiss was behind the current facade. As of writing he has a majority stake in Ardent Leisure.

and he is the only person with any say in Dreamworld's attraction lineup and design work? 

 

Directional signage has been added under the digital screens

Wasn't the SV project originally a Thomas thing? I think it's slightly unfair to blame current management on that building - though they aren't completely absolved of it either, given that board coup happened during early construction

No, that was definitely a Craig Davidson and Gary Weiss idea. Thomas left very quickly after the TRRR incident 

Can vouch for this - the Abu Dhabi airport facade was something Weiss wanted.
