Today I have had a day off to attend my ITT graduation ceremony. With everything going on at school, I confess that I had forgotten about this celebratory date until a friend from the course reminded me. I suppose this reflects just how all-consuming the job can be.
Fortunately, I had booked the day off and hired my graduation gowns weeks ago.
The ceremony itself was pleasant, with NQTs from various teacher training alliances gathering to celebrate their success. It was great to see my friends from the ITT course and to share stories of our first term as qualified teachers. It is easy to forget just how dependent we were on each other during these 12 months, and it was lovely to meet up and look back on our training with fond memories.
