voyager50 Posted February 9, 2018 Report Posted February 9, 2018 It's amazing how many teenagers in Summer Bay have had to repeat year 12 just to keep them in school for longer so there is always enough of them at school to make the stories work! Then they have a bit of a break like now when there aren't enough of them to bother with Summer Bay High scenes. As for the head teachers, I know it is fiction, but there is no way Sally, in her early twenties with only a couple of years teaching experience would have been made head, the promotions of people like Zac just don't make sense. Back in the old days - it was suitably qualified older people like Donald, Judith and Barry! Now they just put any old teacher, no matter what their experience! And the older ones never spend have the day in the diner! Would love your thoughts on this.

And that Bianca ... don't get me started. At least Sally set a good example.
harrietjames Posted February 10, 2018 Report Posted February 10, 2018 I would never send my kids to SBH. It's not a very good school. Bad year 12 pass rate. Terrible Sex ed program given all the teen pregnancies. Shocking driver's ed program.
c120701 Posted February 10, 2018 Report Posted February 10, 2018 Sally was just given the headship to stop Angie getting it, but it never did quite work for me.
Gazza Posted February 10, 2018 Report Posted February 10, 2018 I have to agree with your point it does seem anyone and everyone can walk into the Head Teacher's job these days, I'm sure Fisher would have something to say, I also think the lack of teachers about the Bay is a concern the early years had characters that are teacher too as well as a head teacher in Fisher.
voyager50 Posted February 10, 2018 Author Report Posted February 10, 2018 At least Maggie, the current one, is a bit more experienced and qualified! 3 hours ago, c120701 said: Sally was just given the headship to stop Angie getting it, but it never did quite work for me. I had forgotten that's why she got the job!
harrietjames Posted February 10, 2018 Report Posted February 10, 2018 Teachers at country schools do seem to get promoted more quickly then in city schools. Acting positions do tend to come from within the existing staff of the school. But other than that it's not realistic. Presumably the teachers they talk about with out us seeing them would be better candidates for leadership roles in the school.
adam436 Posted February 12, 2018 Report Posted February 12, 2018 I agree. Other than Gina and Barry, every principal since Donald Fisher has been a joke. I'm a bit biased, as 1988-2000 were my favourite years, but still.. it's frightening to think that Bianca, Sally, Brad, Zac and now Maggie had/have the same authority and power as Don used to have!
j.laur5 Posted February 12, 2018 Report Posted February 12, 2018 I think Matt was only kept down because Spencer left the show. I think Matt replaced Spencer's storylines and I think Ash was brought in to replace Matt storylines. I think Matt was supposed to grow closer to the Braxtons. In 2014 it looked like a close friendship was growing beetween Matt and Kyle. But I don’t think Matt would have had Ash's storylines as I still think Matt would hook up with Charlotte and maybe Kyle could be the one to know Brax was still alive. But Spencer left and Matt repeated a year to replace Spencer in the teen group. I think Spencer and Maddy would get back together in 2015 had Spencer stayed in 2015.

Hmm, I actually like Maggie, but as has been the case with the recent Principals she isn't shown enough.
