Phil Davis

Phillip 'Phil' Davis was a PD/H/PE teacher at Begs High School, who worked along with his wife named Kari Davis, and another Kari, Quinton, Jackie, Michelle and HG. Phil was always taking the charge of his classes and was known to be strict about the dress code in them, Phil was even though strict a softie at heart. It was even stated by his classes he could either be strict or be uncaring in some lessons. Phil was the second longest serving in the PD/H/PE department.

Younger Career
Phil also trained as a doctor before he decided to start teaching. He stated he may have been a doctor once, but he refused to train any one else. Phil as well as stating he wanted to be left for a awhile, whilst he was a doctor. Phil admitted once or twice he had a PhD in Physiology. Phil knew how good he could be. But he gave that all up to teach. Phil one day was talking to Kari and said "I gave up a career in Physiology to be a teacher. No regrets."

Begs Career
As Phil came into Begs, he settled into his position with ease. He met his wife Kari and they married and became Kari and Phil Davis. After that Phil became the head of the department, which meant he had to spend alot of days away from his job, which he didn't like. The job was then retired for a couple of years before it was given to Dr Quinton, when he returned from the hospital to work at the school. Phil got along with Quinton and knew he could always talk to someone, and he knew about his feelings from his past. Even though Phil and Quinton had wives with the same name they both remembered to say last names when talking, but they knew the difference.

Rising For Sarah
Quinton was with his PE class along with Kari (wife), playing indoor volleyball, when a freak incident happened. One student was hit in the face and knocked unconscious, by the ball. Quinton rushed over to her and said "Sarah can you hear me?" He squeezed her shoulders until she came around.. "Are you ok?" She shook her head and said "I think my nose is broken.." Quinton was talking to her when she went blank, he turned to Kari and said "Move these kids into another room.." "But Quinton.." "Play in the other room Kari!" Kari nodded and led the kids into the other room. Quinton laid Sarah on her back and closed the door covering up the window with a poster. Quinton then saw Sarah against the wall and she said "Dr Quinton.. What's wrong with me.." "I don't know.. Have you any medical problems?" "HBP, Diabetes.." "You never thought of telling me now..?" "Never came to mind.." "Jesus.." Sarah then had a seisure, Quinton couldn't do anything about it. "Phil! Get in here now!" Phil rushed in and said "What happened.." "HBP, diabetes, I don't know! She was hit in the face and she thought her nose was broken.." "Where is Kari?" "Next door with the kids.." "What do you want me to do..?" "Call an ambulance and get me the medical kit.." Phil brought out the kit and got out the BP machine and also got some insulin. He injected it and waited for the seisure to stop. It did, but only for a short while. Quinton then rushed to the door and wrote on the outside "Do not enter." Quinton then reached for his phone and rung for ambulance, whilst calling for one Phil was monitoring her and yelled out "She's seizing again!" "Jesus." Quinton and Phil were having trouble stabilising her. "Quinton, are you still there?" "Yeah, she's slipping away though!" "We're sending an air ambo, it'll be there in 10 or 15 minutes.." "Thanks!" Quinton then hung up and phoned HG "HG.. Call an emergency assembly!" "Why?" "We're losing a student. .She's slipping away from us. She's had 3 seizures in 10 minutes, air ambulance is expected to land. Take them all to the hall and discuss whatever you need to. I'll message when she's on board.." "Alright. Rising for Sarah now?" "How'd you know?" "I just know Quinton. " The bell then went and over the intercom HG said "All of you to the hall...NOW!" Quinton then said "Thank you.." "No trouble. Get her good again.." Quinton hung up and saw the look on Phil's face. "It's not good is it Quinton?" Quinton with a sad look on his face said "No. It's not looking that way." "How many can someone have before dying..?" "No clue. I might've been a doctor but I wasn't a neurosurgeon.." Quinton heard the helicopter and walked out through the staffroom and said "Hurry!" "We're coming at fast as we can." Quinton almost tripped leading the crew members into the room were Sarah was. "Quinton.." she weakly said "Fly with me.." Quinton then said to her "I have no choice now. I have to." "Quinton. How long has she been like this?" "10-15 minutes. The station had to call you as other ambos were at some crash with a bus.." Quinton helped stabilize her and said to Phil "Contact her mother. and tell her to come to the hospital.." Phil nodded and was right on it. Quinton and the flight crew and over the radio he contacted the hospital "This is Dr Quinton Philips, we require several neurosurgeons, and perhaps a councilor for the mother. I want different opinions on this case." Quinton's phone then rung "Quinton.. The mother has been called, she's at the hospital, in the waiting room." "Cheers, thanks Phil." Quinton hung up and said "You're strong enough to fight this Sarah.. Just a little longer." The pilot then yelled out "We're about to land!" The helicopter landed and Dr Philips was on the platform watching the scene take place. "Jesus." he said as he walked over to the chopper. "3 seizures in the classroom, 3 in transit." "What were you doing?" "Indoor volleyball." Quinton then said "I want her records on my desk. In my old room." "Sure thing." "Mrs. McGregor is waiting for her to be taken in. She's almost crying, Quinton. You better confront her." Quinton then walked away and saw Mrs. McGregor and said "Sandra. Isn't it?" "Yes it is. Quinton how is she doing?" "Not very well, I'm afraid. It was an innocent game of indoor volleyball. I must ask though. Did she suffer from seizures?" "Not that I knew of. She did have HBP, diabetes.." "She told us that. We also set her nose in transit. Broke it from the hit to the face.." "Righto.." "Come with me we'll take in my old office." Quinton walked her to his office and sat down with her. "Sandra, she is suffering from I don't what from though, but her condition is serious.. She is in good hands." "She was a good kid. She's been awarded an OAM.." "Order of Australia? That's.." "Odd for someone her age. But she was and still is avid for things.." Quinton's phone then rang "Hello. Quinton speaking." "It's HG how is she?" "Serious condition.. I'll discuss this with you and the school tomorrow." "Quinton.. Don't lie.. I had to lie to 700 odd kids about their behaviour.." "She's in ICU.. She probably won't make the night.." "Right thank you." Quinton hung up and looked at Sandra and pointed to the ICU room. She nodded and Quinton walked with her to the ICU unit. "Dr Philips.." said Quinton "How is she doing?" "She slipped into a diabetic coma." Sandra then sat by her daughters side. "Can you bring her out?" "I'm sorry Sandra, but once someone slips into a diabetic coma there is no rousing them out of it.. The machines are keeping her alive, we're making her as comfortable as possible." Sandra then said "She was about to go to the US and speak in front of congress.." Quinton tried to comfort her and he said "It's hard seeing someone you love like this.." It was a long afternoon for Quinton and the team as Quinton was on the verge of crying and Sandra was just sitting with Sarah. "It's time Dr Quinton.." said Sandra. "She fought well, but she doesn't deserve this.." Sandra gave allowance to turn the machines off, but Quinton had to walk away. He walked into his office, whilst Sandra said her final goodbyes. Quinton was reading through his file when Sandra walked in and said "Dr Quinton. Thank you for your effects.. to save her." "I was doing my job. I'm sorry she slipped away so fast.." "Quinton.. I don't want you to greave.. When you tell those students tomorrow. Tell them to rise for Sarah, and don't forget her." Quinton nodded as he finally gave up and started to cry. Sandra then said "You've lost someone close to you like this?" "I have sadly, but never a student." Quinton later walked out of the hospital and back to the school. "Quinton.. We heard the news.. It's not true is it?" Quinton nodded and said "Yes it is. Tomorrow morning we rise for Sarah." The next morning an assembly was called and Quinton took the mic. "Yesterday you were all called to the hall for an assembly for 'behaviour' today, I tell you the reason why. One of our own. Sarah McGregor suffered a seisure during a lesson yesterday. She suffered 3 before an air ambo was called. She suffered another 3 in transit and was taken into ICU. Emotions were high yesterday. As of 3pm her mother made the decision to turn off her life-support. She was a well known OAM (Order of Australia) and was known for her work all over the country. Today well shall not greave, but we remember the life of Sarah McGregor! I want you to all stand and yell "Rise for Sarah." as loud as you can. "Rise For Sarah" was chanted for 10 minutes. The news got out fast that Sarah had passed away, and the whole country was chanting "Rise for Sarah" including news stations. Sandra ended up saying "It's good to know people care.."

The Hardest Times
Phil had even 6 months after the loss of Sarah, was taking it really hard. He even took extended leave to deal with it. Phil even though he was as tough as nails, finally it was his downfall. One day whilst he was at home, Quinton decided to visit him to get his spirit up. "Phil, how are you?" "Worse Quinton. I've never had to mourn the loss of a student before, how do you do it?" Quinton then sat down and said "I deal with it around Kari, and friends around me. We chanted in her memory Phil. You may be the schools 'ironman' by nature, but nothing can prepare you for the loss of someone you know. You have to come back to work sooner or later, trust me, when you're doing something, your mind is off it completely." Phil then said "Maybe.. Thanks for the advice."

Return to Work
A week after Quinton had talked to him, Phil returned to work with Quinton's advice. Phil didn't tell Kari (his wife), that he planned to return that day. Phil left 10 minutes after Kari did. Phil walked into the Staff Office and signed in and faced HG, "I see you're ready to fight another round Phil?" "Listen Galloway, when you're there you'll understand how I felt. Seeing someone seizing and calling a parent to go to the hospital will be the hardest thing you ever do.." HG then said "I commend you for it. I've had to do it. I think we all have.." Phil nodded and walked all the way to the PD staffroom were he surprised all when he walked in. "Phil, you came.." "Of course. No more grieving. No more sadness. I came back to face the music." Quinton then walked in from the other room and said "No more hiding, no more fighting the fact that we're not made from stone." Phil nodded and said "A long fact.." "But really how does someone not be like me? A wreck.. I mean she was basically dead when we put her into the chopper." "Don't think about it. It's only going to ruin the way you think Phil.." "But you were a doctor! It's not like I was.." "I had a little help with my colleagues. We all experienced a loss. It was hard for everyone. No matter how they recovered."

Moving Forward
After a year of help Phil managed to get back to his former self. "Phil how are you after all that you have been through?" "I feel alot better Quinton. You were right. I just needed to talk to someone." Phil smiled and said "And how not to take life for granted." Phil then said "What happened to your wife Quinton, where is she these days?" "She retired. Phil she decided she couldn't teach the way she used to." "Serious? Damn.." "I know you two were really good friends. She retired 3 weeks before you came back. you two knew one other before I came here?" Phil told the truth "She was my first kiss Quinton. We dated for 3 months before breaking up. She was battling through some hell times back then and is still doing it tough." "You two dated? That...Actually sounds cute." "I thought you'd be creped out." "Haha. No." Quinton smiled and said "What made her dumped you?" "I have no clue. She never told me. We worked together for 20 years. It just happened.." Phil sat down and starred at his wedding photo. Kari sat next to him and said "Kari, never thought I'd be scared of someone dying." "You thought you could be like that for a long time. Phil, you tried to hold it in for a long time."

Fire on the Hill
Quinton was standing on lunch duty and watching the hill. He saw smoke coming from the mountains. Quinton had his phone in hand and called BTEC. "I want to know. How's the fire in the mountains going because it's travelling fast. David these things are unforgiving. Trust me." "I know they are. How far do you think it is from the school?" "A kilometer at least. I'm notifying the principal." Quinton hung up and rung the principal. "Gaz, that fire is moving quickly." "Let it get closer and then we'll evacuate." "I don't think so." "Quin--" Quinton then radioed the office and said "It's moving fast. Wait for my signal and we'll evacuate to the other field." Quinton could see the flames getting closer. Quinton then said "Now." Quinton then had the microphone and saw the kids stepping out of classrooms, They had a look of worry. "I want you all to move to the other oval. We have a fire moving quickly over the hills. It gets any closer and the school is over." "But what about you Quinton?" said Kari. "I'll make sure everyone is out of the building." "But what about your wife?" "I have nothing to lose. Now go.." Kari held Quintons hand and said "Quinton I don't want to tell her we had to scrape you off the floor, don't do this." Quinton held Kari's hand and said "Call Jen. Tell her I love her. I'm glad I met you." Quinton then hugged Kari and walked back into the building. Quinton watched as the hills burned. Quinton put his hand on the window. Quinton saw a helicopter above the flames and Quinton was walking through T block and opened the door to see a class still going on. "You guys need to go. There is a fire on the hills it's spreading quickly. Go." The class quickly left and Quinton made his way to the library. As there was no-one in the library Quinton picked up the radio and contacted Kari. "Kari how is everyone?" Kari responded and said "Quinton, you're still alive. What's the progress on that fire. "Fast moving. It's on the edge of the hills." "Quinton get out of there. Jen is with me. Common." "Put her on." "Quinton, you've done enough. Get out of there.." "You know I can't. I'm stuck here. Not really but I'm prepared to save others from dying.." "But not yourself.." "Trust me on this. write a book about it." "That's actually a good idea.." "Just don't called the character Quinton.." Quinton then said goodbye and turned off his radio. Quinton called out to the librarian to see if he could hear her. "Lucy!" Quinton walked into her office and saw her face down on her desk. "Jesus Christ Lucy.." Quinton could feel no pulse she had been dead for a while. Quinton laid her down and placed a sheet over her. Quinton left the library and walked back to T block. There he saw the rapid onset of fire. Quinton grabbed his radio and said "Confirmed everyone out." "Except you Quinton. Out now.." Quinton looked on in horror as the oval was alight. "There goes the oval.." "Grass grows back Quinton. Lives don't." Quinton had a long thought. "Leaving now.." Quinton was rushing out the building when he tripped and hit his head on the ground, knocking him unconscious. "Quinton. Quinton. Are you there?" said Kari. "We're sending help." Kari turned to the fire chief and said "Find him! Find him now.." "We need to know what was his last location.." "He said he was near the library. I want radio contact on when you find him.." "Can do.' The fire chief then got his radio and said "Putting in a call a 44-PIB. Find and extract. Radio contact to be maintained." The fire chief then went with his crew. "That fire wont be the first thing that kills him.." "You thinking he fell?" "I don't know what I'm thinking of.." The firefighters finally found Quinton. "Oh shit.." "What is it?" "I found him.." "Alive?" "Yes. Barely though." "Full spinal precautions." "What's the news.." said the radio. "We found him." "Is he ok?" "He'll live to fight another fight. He hit his head. We don't know how hard." "Take him." Quinton was taken to hospital and given the all clear of brain damage. But his true fight just begun. 3 days later Quinton woke up, beside him Kari. "Welcome back to the world Quinton.." Quinton looked around and said "How bad?" "Only minor bruising.. You're lucky to be alive.." "Was anyone else in the building?" "Just the librarian. But tests confirmed she suffered a heart attack before the event." "How's the school?" "We lost the oval. But grass can grow back. T Block is destroyed, we're having that repaired as we speak. The rest of the school is unharmed." Quinton then said "I'm lucky to be alive then.." "Why?" "I just left the room in T block when I feel." "Funny that. They found you near wood tech.. You were in T block." "I don't remember.. Going in T block. Why don't I have burns then?" "Because you fell and staggered your way to the left exit.."

More
Phil walked into work and sat were he normally did for the meetings that all teachers went to. "I want more. Its not that I don't I really do.." "More what Phil?" "More time to be able to tell my students about how long this job really takes. I just need time.. It's just something that we know about all things." "You've had enough time. Phil just remember you have more experience then most of us." "That's because I wanted to teach my entire life. So you can't take that away from me. I never had the best marks, but I managed to pull in those marks to become a teacher..."

Another Day
"And that's why most of you, shouldn't go on camping trips." as Phil said when he was packing up the bus from his classes PD camp. "I said pack enough for at least 2 of you. And most of you did do that but others didn't. I'm still pretty proud of you." Phil said as he changed his shirt. "Hurry and have a shower in that shitty shower or just change and have one when you get home." As Phil got on the bus his class join him and all sat down. Phil then waited for Kari to get back on the bus. "How was that walk everyone?" "I'm tired." said one student. "As I said you can sleep on the bus. We've got a 4 hour trip." Kari walked back after she had her shower and said "I'm good. Lets go." "Everybody on!" Phil started the bus and shut the door to the bus. While they were on the road many kids were already asleep so they didn't bother to wake them. Kari and Phil were talking about how tough life was when they were going to go back to work. "It's gonna be tough now. Their gonna want to do this again.." "I don't think this group will want to do that walk again. Look at them their bushed." Kari looked around and saw they were all asleep. "Noobs. That's not how you sleep on a bus.."

Award Night
Quinton returned home to Begs, he was happy knowing his son was proving his worth, in another country. Quinton a week later returned to the High School to an assembly. "We welcome back Dr Quinton, and we also welcome our new music teacher. Mrs Collins." Quinton said his messages and then he walked out of the assembly and went back to the staffroom. Quinton was sitting at his desk with his head down. "Working hard. Or hardly working.." said Kari. Quinton turned around and said "Hardly..." Quinton looked up and said "I'm bored of this job. For the first time in 32 years I'm actually bored.." Kari took a deep breath and said "You... You said it... You're bored?" Kari then said "That's the way life goes. You ever thought of being a doctor again?" "To easy. and I don't want to treat people I know.." "Then what do you want to do again? You're to old for the NOL. You're done with medicine, and everyone you know is a teacher." A week later, for all teachers an award ceremony was held for the dedicated and bold. "Tonight we hold this ceremony. For the dedicated and the bold, teachers, who are the ones their before the students and the last ones to leave." "The first award, is known as the 'Dedicated and Bold Teacher' of the Decade. It is tonight awarded to Dr. Quinton Philips." Quinton walked onto the stage and got his award. He shook hands and then took the mike. "Thank you for this wonderful award. I would like to say I may be dedicated and bold to the learning of others, but even the veterans run out of ideas. So if anyone has an idea for a PE lesson, please tell me. Thanks" Quinton walked down the steps and sat back at his table. "The next award is known as the 'HG Service Medal' this is dedicated to a teacher who gives up spare time to help out other charities, and tonight that award goes to Phil Davis." Phil got up on stage and got his award. He then said. "My service to all those who are second to none. We love all those charities we serve and those we help out. They deserve the best of the best. And what I do cannot be done alone.. I need you all to dig deep these days and help all those effected.."

Lingering
As Phil was third in command in the PD/H/PE department, he was the one who was getting some of the opportunities. Phil was the one getting all the deals, and the one who loved it. Phil was later offered an exchange to go to Johannesburg, in South Africa. But he refused, due to unforeseen circumstances. Phil and Kari later went on their honeymoon after waiting 10 years to do so. "Happy honeymoon Kari. Sorry it took so long." "I'm still happy no matter what. I loved you since the moment I saw you. You were so young back then and I never ever regret saying will you marry me." "I'll never regret saying yes." A couple of days later Phil and Kari returned to work. Phil had given it his all to get Kari to agree to an exchange year before he retired, but she refused many times, because she had a thing with flying.

Exchanging in Brazil
For Phil he had always wanted to teach in Brazil. So he did. He went during the schools longest break, which was x-mas, which was 9 weeks long. Phil hadn't told Kari about it because Kari was in Fiji at the time. Phil knew the dangers of teaching in another country, but he wanted to learn the language and their culture. "Ah, you must be Mr. Davis? Welcome to Brazil!" "Thank you." "Well you want to learn our culture. It's a great idea." 8 weeks later Phil returned home and so did Kari. "How was Brazil Phi?" "How do you know?" "You were on the news. We lied to each other, but I guess you can speak Brazilian?" "I know how to give one.. "Waxing?" "Yeah.. Never again.. But it was worth it to see the way we teach and they teach is so different security there is another matter. Glad to be home."

Another
Phil had been given another award for his teaching in Begs at it was his 30th year of service and he was truly dedicated to get somewhere and everything it was the way it helped him to be better. "These awards me so much to me. They are so great and I'll never stop dedicating myself to teaching. Because I can know when it is the right time to stop and forgive those who cannot be forgiven. And be as nice as one can be. I've changed over the years, but that never stops me." "That's good because we need someone to sign on for another couple of years in the department." Phil did so and then said "Glad."

What
"Another camp. God I love these. Did you know one year, someone took a stove to the middle of bloody no where and almost caused a fire.." Phil said to John. "I know. Camps are fun, but I never liked the walking ones, but I like pain, seeing pain makes me happy." "What sort of PE teacher are you.." "A bloody good one. Trust me the one up Mt YaYa was the most painful. Two kids broke shoulders, one their nose and another lost their will to live, that's why it was taken off the list of walks that take 2 days.." Phil laughed and John said "It's all about the pain they show. You take the walk slow and you can actually get there when you want to. And you can wallow back into the days when you go back to school and do paperwork again. Those are the days."

The Truth
Quinton was sitting at his desk when Kari walked in to his office. "Quinton, can you walk with me?" Quinton looked up and then said "Yeah sure." Quinton got up and he walked with Kari to the oval. "Tell me Quinton, why is the room I use have no use for a back row? Just a dent in the floor." "It's a long story Kari." Kari turned to face him "Quinton, tell me. I need a back row for my class. I can't keep on putting everyone up the front.." Quinton knew his secret had to come out, and the time for it was now. "It was a freak accident Kari.." "Indoor class activity?" "Indoor volleyball." "But how.." "Kari, she was diabetic with low blood pressure.. Her name was Sarah.." "I think I remember hearing about this.." "Trust me.. It was something that shocked most of the teaching and medical staff. It was a long time ago. Phil had to take 6 months off and I took consoling. Kari she was one of the most best minds in the country. She that day was supposed to fly out and speak to congress. Her death sent them into a minute silence. Flags at half mast. It was difficult to deal with. She slipped into a coma." "And what.." "She had 6 seizures before she even reached the hospital. She was in a bad way. Now look. You do what you need with that room. Its been 10 years, I suggest you do what ever you want." Quinton then put his hands on Kari's shoulders. "I want to forget about that painful memory. You do what you need to." Quinton slowly walked away and Kari said "Quinton! Listen. You're not listening to me. I want you not to remember a painful memory, but you need to go in that room again and just face the facts. You need to get in there again." Quinton then stopped and said "You have no idea how many times I wanted to do that Kari." Kari walked up to Quinton and said "I will drag you into the room if I need to. You need to face this once and for all." Quinton turned and walked toward his old room, and Kari followed him and Quinton opened the door of his old room and he walked in. Quinton crouched down and he saw the knee spaces from all those years ago. "This is very surreal Kari, its been years since I've been in here. But what about Phil?" "I brought him in here as well." Phil was standing outside next to the door. "It's been years, but I always managed to teach in here and making sure that if I didn't return to the room, I made sure that I always had a plan. And that plan was to make anyone comfortable knowing that all those years ago someone had suffered a medical condition. But the thing is we deal with them all the time here."

Continuing
Quinton was sitting in his office and he was doing some paperwork whilst talking to Phil and he was talking about Phil future. "Phil do you think that you are going to be able to do something like this more. Are you ready to go another couple of years, and are you ready to be able to deal with some of the newest ways that we teach?" Phil nodded and said "I am. And I am ready to push myself this year and Quinton you know it." Quinton pulled out a contract. "You have to sign this now to continue your services in the PD/H/PE department its now a recommendation of BET." Phil signed the contract and Quinton then placed it in a folder and walked out and placed it out on the "continuing services" table and he sealed it, and walked back in and said "I will continue this conversation later, as I have to talk to Year 11." "See you later then." Phil walked out. Phil then walked into his year meetings and saw Quinton talking to Year 12. Quinton had given the same talk.

Now Or Never
"These things that we see are almost always one of a kind. And the things we see are now very different and days are never the same. It shows us the way people will be able to do those things themselves and be proud that they did that in that sense of every moment. It will always sent other people to do so some things others don't. But we are those ones to make sure we make their lives better in the sense of the word and make sure that others are able to follow our control."

Game Day
"I've called in a favour. And BET has been notified about the matches. We will do it this way Quinton. Teachers V Students. Teachers V Teachers and Teachers V Ex-players, abiding by the rules in the NOL handbook. There will be matches played." said Kari to Quinton. Quinton let out a big smile and said "Let the games begin." Kari called for an assembly and had it announced. "Today there will matches played for a one off game of three. NOL rules and refs. And students will be picked at random to play in one match aganist the teachers and maybe on ourside to if you are up for it. Play will begin after students and staff have picked their teams and are ready for play." Kari handed the mic back to Quinton and Quinton said "On the teachers team. Kingram, Kingram, Davis, Davis, Dangerfield, Philips (Me), Sands, Bolla, Franks, Mandy. Bench Players are all the TAS staff." "Student team is picked. Now lets get ready to kick ass."The teachers went down to the field and Quinton was getting ready and so were the staff. Kari said to Quinton "Don't injure yourself buddy because I don't want to be the deputy again.." "Just a word of advice Kari, Franky is so close to being slapped in the head, I wont stop the person who will do it."Quinton looked up as he was tying his boots and he saw Kari. "You should be happy this is just a one off thing. Because we all love you. We don't want to see you hurt and make sure that you don't clash knees."

Quinton Quits
Quinton was watching his PE class from a distance and he was pondering his next career move. Quinton lifted his hand over his face and then he heard a familiar voice. "What's the choice now Quinton.. You've been shunned... You're now a failure... What do these kids think of you.." "They think I'm ok. I don't know about the spray I gave them." Quinton turned around and saw that it was Roy. "Roy..." "Quinton.. You need to make a choice.. Be the best.." "I can't do that anymore. Not now Roy." Roy could sense Quinton was about to go off. "Now listen to me Quinton.." Quinton then snapped. "No you listen to me. I've done all I could for these kids. And you know what they do to me? They all give up when they are close to the finish line." "Quinton you caused your entire PD class to drop out of the subject! Art and geography classes are now stronger then ever." "And you know what?" "What.." "You can find a new teacher, because I am done.. I quit.." Roy's jaw dropped and Quinton walked away. Roy turned to Quinton's class and walked straight to them. Whilst Quinton packed his stuff and he walked to his car. He got in and he drove home. This time he left the school for good.As Roy called for a meeting of his staff he was worried that Quinton would take a turn for the worst. So he ordered in a MPR (Missing Persons Report) and reported him missing from the school. Roy walked in to the worried looks of the staff. "What's this about Roy?" said Kari. "Quinton just walked away from the school." "And we should care why?" "He screamed it. He yelled to me that he quit.. He walked away in angry terms and now he is missing."

Controversy Around Quinton
As the news went to air the teachers were in a meeting when Kari read her phone. "Turn the TV on.." "What?" "Just do it!" the TV was then turned on to the news anchor he then started speaking. "We interrupt that program to bring you breaking news. In an amazing fall from grace, Dr Quinton Philips, has today been arrested after a serious assault on a man outside the Snowy Region National Oztag League Headquarters. His other charges are also; 2 counts of serious assault, 3 counts illegal use of his medical license and 2 charges of misconduct and damage. Dr Philips was reported missing after walking out of his teaching position no less then three months ago. And all we can think of.. Is wow." A few days later the reports came in that Quinton was stripped of many. First beginning with his NOL awards. "As this has sent shockwaves through the NOL and endeavoring communities, we have decided to strip Mr. Philips of his Medals, from his Grand final days." said the CEO of the NOL.

The Tough truth
Quinton was in court, and this time he wasn't the victim, he was the suspect. His Lawyer wasn't there and Quinton had one appointed to him by the court. The teachers were there as supporters to his arrest warrants and charges. Quinton walked in, with his hands in cuffs and a damp look on his face. He sat up in the bay and heard the judge say "You may all sit." Quinton sat down and he looked at Kari with a sad look. "The Honourable Judge James Sullivan will give a court room verdict. And will discuss these charges against Dr Philips." said the bailiff. The judge then said "Kari Kingram. To the stand.." Kari stood up and walked to the stand. "Would you say they Mr. Philips is a violent man?" "I don't think so. But he would never hurt anybody. This is just something that holds him back. He worked as a PD/H/PE teacher for over 20 years. Its something we put up with." "Would you say he had anger issues?" Quinton rolled his eyes as Kari answered the question. "He only showed it when he needed to. He is a professional.." Quinton raised his hand and said "Permission to approach the bench?" "Permission denied." Kari continued. "Quinton managed to get the respect he got from his classes, and from us by being himself something new teachers needed but look where they get.. No where.." The judge then said "So he never had moments of aggression toward you or toward any other staff?" Quinton's eyes opened wide and he slid down into his chair. "I don't know about the other staff members, but he always showed respect to all of us.." "Thank you.." Kari then sat down in the docks and the bailiff called up John. "Next up Jonathan Kingram." John walked up to the stands and sat down. "So Jonathan.." "Call me John.." "So John.. Has Quinton showed anger towards you or anyone else?" John answered truthfully. "To me? He has.. But he never laid a hand on me. We've never had more then just a fair argument. Its something we do. But ever since he left, I received calls from him in the middle of outside practical classes of him wanting me to take him to rehab. But I knew since he was missing I couldn't get involved." "If he called you in those lessons, how come it wasn't stated in the BET records?" "I thought it wasn't relevant. I mean come on, he walked out of his job for a bit of peace and quiet.. Why would you have a moment to wreck that?" "Because during that time he was a drunk mess. He was a mess. He was arrested outside the NOL HQ in Snowy Region, back where he began his career. You didn't want to help that out?" Quinton had finally had enough, he stood up and said. "I walked out of my job, because of a choice I made. It was comments that drove my PDHPE class to move into geography and art. I never meant to hurt that man and I never meant to bring things into disrepute. I was never the smartest person in my classes. But I was one who ended up in a career where I could help people. And you don't know how it feels to give that help.." "Thank you for that outburst Dr Philips.." said the judge. As Quinton sat down, he saw Kilmer stand up from the bench and say "He deserves another chance.." "Excuse Mr. Kilmer?" "He needs and deserves another chance. He is one of the few teachers who are able to be around all those. He helped as many people as he could in his doctor days. He took that into his teaching career. The lives he's saved.." Kilmer then said "If he goes to jail, he wont see out what good he has done. That's all I have to say." Kilmer sat down, and the judge said "I want the jury to decide on Quinton's future." During the time that the jury decided on his future, Quinton was talking to Kari and he said to Kari "I want you to know Kari, I always hated John.." "I know.." "You did?" "Mate you always came to class pissed off after a lesson with him. You did better at SLR then PD." the jury then walked out of the room and Quinton and said to Kari "Remember to feed my cat.". One jury member whispered the verdict to the judge, and Quinton swallowed hard as the verdict came. "Dr Quinton Philips, the court finds you not guilty of assault and misconduct. But you will have to undergo anger management and you will then return to the head teacher role of the PDHPE department." Quinton then said "I'll do anything.." "You're lucky you have friends in high places Quinton.." said the judge. "Not really." The judge banged his gavel and said "I don't want to see you back here."

Quinton's return
As Quinton went through anger management and his community service he was placed in front of a tribunal. On the tribunal was the head teachers of Begs High and the head members of BET. Quinton had quit his drinking and he managed to conquer a new lease on life. "Mr. Quinton Philips, this tribunal has been set in place to either deny or put your return in place. Why do you think we should give you a return to teaching?" "Teaching is my life.. Teaching makes me feel a lot better. I know teaching can help as many people as it possibly can. I will never give up on a student I never want to see them hurt, I want to seem them be successful." Quinton said. The head of history Mr. Lopez then said "Dr Quinton. You do know this will make or break you? Have you given up the alcohol? The anger issues?" "I gave up the alcohol. I didn't want any more damage then needed be. I have changed my ways. I want to go back to teaching.. Its been a long road back.." "2 years Mr. Philips.." "As I said.. A long road.." As the people on the hearing were reaching their decision, Quinton was asked to go outside so he could learn his fate. "What do you think Kingram? Does he deserve another chance?" "I believe he does.." "What about you Roy? He's one of the deputy teachers, what do you think.." "I think this meeting is bullshit.. And you know it. Quinton needs to do his job again, a teacher without work is like a fullback without the NOL. It wont work.."

Camping
After Quinton had returned to work, Phil got to take his senior PDHPE class camping on their assessment task. Phil was happy to get away for the two days, and he wanted to get the camp done as soon as possible. Phil took Kari along with him on camp. "It's insane Kari.. Just glad its over.." "I know.." "One more time and I will vote down on him returning to the school. He's crazy, he may he given up the hooch, but doesn't mean he won't take any cases." "We can trust his trust anymore. He walked out on his class, left Roy to pick up the pieces. He's a wreck waiting to burst." "What about this bullying tirade? He wont expel anyone he is all talk Phil.." "I know he is Kari. That's a shock to the system. And all the PE staff voted no to bring him back. Do you think he knows that?" "I hope not."

The Apology
Quinton was sitting at his desk thinking about all the pain that he had caused throughout the years. He picked up the phone and he called in a favour. He called for some friends to get the textbooks and equipment he had denied for so long. Quinton called all the teachers to a meeting in the staff common room. Quinton then arrived and took his place at the podium. "Quinton, why are we here?" said Kari. "I'm here to write the wrongs. I am here to say that I messed up, and I apologise." Quinton then said. "Science, Maths faculties. I apologise for the funding cuts and lack of equipment. That is why I will reinstate all the funding back up to 10,000, and I present you both faculties." Quinton then opened the door and brought his friends in. "Science I present you with new textbooks and equipment." The Head of Science then said "What else?" "You get the old drama room no one uses as a staffroom, and I will bring back those teachers that I fired." "Good." "Maths, new books, pads and calculators. Enjoy." Head of maths then said "This equipment is brand new?" "Brand new and just for you." "Awesome thanks you so much." Quinton then faced HSIE and said "HSIE, I present you with a grant of $3,000 for travel expenses when you leave for your trip, new books and equipment." "English.. New equipment and books." "PD.." Kari then said "This'll be interesting." "A grant of $40,000 to finish off the floor for the new gym, new equipment and updated textbooks." "CAPA.. New equipment and new books." Kari then interupted. "Did you just say a grant of 40,000?" "Yes Kari I did." "And TAS, new equipment, books, and wood supply." Quinton then said "I only just realised how badly I messed up.. I have also been talking with BET and our local member.. I have decided to extend the budget for every faculty to $14,000. The extra $4,000 comes from me." Kari then said "This has all come a little late, why the change of heart?" "I met my son again. He left for Canada as he told me I needed to listen more. And that I need to take time for others. I fucked up bad, thats the only way of putting it." "You more then fucked up Quinton.. You dragged Roy into this and now he's on leave until someone gives up. You had it easy, while we had to debunk your class and send to frees, you were to busy drinking and blaming Roy on your problems, so yeah you more then fucked up Quinton." said the head of history. "Kim, please, calm down." "No I am not going to calm down. YOU messed up the schools rep and Begs' rep in general. Until you can make it better then giving us money, don't say anything on how hard life is.."

Quinton's injury
Quinton was with his mum and dad on the rod, they were having a weekend get away. Quinton's mum named Samantha and his dad named Stan. Stan then said "Quinton, do you have anything to say to us?" Quinton looked down and said "I failed you guys, I know I should have never resulted to drinking and then punching the dude in the face. But all I want to do is to go camping." "Son I'm disappointed at what you did. And doing that is something we can never talk about again." "Then why are we talking about?" "So we can get it out in the open! Quinton you were a doctor, played for your country and state and why do you think you are one of the most influential people in our state?" "I don't know ma! Because I helped all those people.." "Yeah you did but what else have you done. You managed to get a girl back her life, made a mother bring in a stupid foundation for ants! and managed to give lives and entertainment to those who needed it." As they came up to the spot they camped at the most. When Quinton hoped out he noticed a tree branch dangling from a height. He looked down and said, 'Careful there's a hanging branch there one hit and your dead." "I know son, that's why we won't camp in this spot we'll move 5 metres that way." his dad pointing to the well. As Quinton lifted his bag out of the car the branch from the tree fell and struck him on his legs. He was pinned by the branch. Quinton yelled out "Dad! Get help!" Stan turned around and saw Quinton's legs bleeding and Quinton shaking from pain. "Jesus Christ!. Quinton!" "Ring for help dad!" "On it.." Stan reached for his phone and called for help. He called for them to bring a chopper and some big men to help move a branch crushing his sons legs. Stan hung up and said "they'll be here in a while." "How long is awhile?" "They said an hour at least." "Jesus.." Quinton then said "Mum.. Get the towel out of the bag and wrap it around the cut on my forehead." His mum did what her son told him to. As Quinton also had his arms pinned he couldn't tell if he had a spinal injury. "Mum. Can you do something for me?" "Yeah what?" "Push your hands on my feet." "Can you feel that?" "Yeah I can.." Just as his mum stood up help arrived. "You've got yourself stuck in a hard place Quinton." "Thanks, why don't you HELP ME OUTTA here please.." As medics took over Quinton whispered to one of them "My left leg.. I cant feel it." "Probably cause there is a tree on it." "I'm being serious. My left leg I can barely feel anymore." "We're getting there slowly Quinton you'll be free soon." As Stan and Samantha were moved back to the car and were told to go home. Quinton was freed but carefully placed in a neck brace and his legs splinted. "Lets get you outta here." "So much for a camping trip." Quinton was quiet during trip to the hospital as the last time he was there, he was saying goodbye to a student. "Quinton we need you to stay awake." As they got into the ambulance bay Quinton had finally lost consciousness. "He's unco!" "What the hell happened?" "Tree branches fell on him, arms and legs trapped, lac to forehead and neck." Trish then said "Lets get him to x-ray then to surgery." As his x-ray's were taken Trish and another doctor were looking at them. "What's his job?" "He is the principal at the high school.." "Look at this.." "C5, C4.. Incomplete fracture.. spiral of the fibula.." "His career is on the brink of being over. His unconscious right now, and surgery should be successful. If the cord is damaged he wont be walking anywhere fast.." Trish then said "The news is on it quick.. look.." As Trish turned the TV on it was on the news. "We cross to breaking news tonight." "That's right Jackie. Dr Quinton Philips has been taken to hospital in a critical condition after tree branches fell on him during a camping trip with his parents. I'm standing outside the hospital that he was taken to and doctors say he has fractures to his legs and a neck injury. Teachers at Begs High have been contacted and the vice principal."

Injury (2)
As Quinton was taken into surgery staff from the high school were there waiting for him to come out of surgery. Trish walked out of the operating room and saw the staff. "Trish? How is he doing?" "Incomplete injury to the C4 and 5. Broken legs and cuts everywhere, he was a mess. He lost consciousness whilst in the ambo bay. He's on a ventilator. And what he looks like isn't good." Kari then said "He taught PE for so long, wouldn't you think that he wouldn't have parked under a tree with falling branches?" "Kari, the tree was 10 metres away from the car. He was in the wrong place, it wasn't his fault. It was just bad timing." "How long did it take for help to arrive." "He was with his parents for 2 hours. He asked his mother to push against his feet so he could feel his legs." "Did/ can he feel his legs?" "His left one has nerve damage his right one is broken in 3 places. Surgeons are still working on his neck." "So this could be the end of Quinton's career. A tree branch has ended his career.." "Believe Kari.. It's not the end of the world.." said Roy. "He will do what is right to get back into his career." "His career has gone to shit ever since his controversial walk out, why should we help him?" "Because he's still our friend Phil.. We still have hope.." The neck surgeon who worked on Quinton came out and said "He's gonna need you all." they all turned around and looked. "His C4 wasn't fractured only his C5, which means he will regain his strength over time. But his legs are another story.. Nerve damage from his left knee down, they've repaired the nerve, from the broken bones. His right leg only had deep cuts. We've repaired the cuts. And he should be good." "What about his condition?" "He is still critical. Neck injuries can cut off air to the lungs, but he was lucky. If it was a centimeter lower, he would be dead." "No cord injury?" "None. He is a lucky man. Trish walk with me. See you all later." Trish then said "What's this about Ryan." "His condition is on and off. Whatever we do, his life is in the balance, no joke." "What so he's?" "Both critical and stable.. Its a balancing act." "Shit.." "Don't say anything. Surgery is done and they can go and see him if they want to. His family where are they?" "They were told to go home. They just had shock they were fine. Quinton told me once his family weren't to get involved." "But his colleagues are fine with this?" "Whatever they do, they're a strong bunch of people." Trish then said "I'll take them to see him." Trish walked away and back to the staff. "Can we see him?" "You can but I have to advise you that what you will see is gonna be a shock.. You've never seen him like this. There are tubes and bandages everywhere." Trish walked the staff to Quinton's room. Trish opened the door. Kari and John were the first in. "Oh my god.." Kari had to look away, as tubes were coming out his arms, his leg and chest. John looked down and said "How long has he been on the ventilator." "Since he lost consciousness in the ambo bay, 5 hours ago." said Trish. Roy then said "Our strongest man has been decimated by a tree. But he will be better then ever when he returns." Roy then placed a card next to his phone and said "Get well soon Quinno." Trish then said "I need you to know if he does want to return to work.. If he does.. Make sure he gets a desk job.." "We can do that."3 days later Quinton was still in intensive care, and things were touch and go for him. He had three more surgeries on his legs to repair damage. Quinton now was a long chance of ever waking up. Trish was still waiting by his side waiting for him to wake up. "How's he doing?" said Kari. "He's strong.. But whatever happens, something will be aware of it." As Trish looked back down she saw Quinton open his eyes. "Quinton, welcome back to the world.." Kari then said "Do you remember what happened?" Trish paged Dr Ryan and then said to Quinton. "You've busted your legs and your neck is in a brace.." Ryan walked in and said "You paged Nurse?" Trish pointed and said "He's awake.." Ryan walked over to Quinton and he said "You're a lucky man Quinton.. But since you have a trachy in your neck we'll keep that in there to help you breath and will start a fierce component of the neck rehab in a couple of weeks." Quinton huskily said "Call my dad.. Tell him the truth he needs to know what's up." "We've already told them." "Kari.. Who is the principal?" "Roy's taken over again. You on the other hand need to listen for once." Quinton then said "How much damage was there?" 'Incomplete fracture of the C5. And nerve damage to your left leg. The other leg was cuts and bruises.' Ryan asked Quinton if he could lift up his arms. "Lift them for me.." Quinton lifted his arms and made a fist with them. "No damage to the nerves in the arms, no weakness on both sides.. You are something special Quinton." "I heal differently then most people. But spinal injuries are not something I take lightly. I will do whatever it takes to walk again.." "YOU do know it takes at least a year for nerve regrowth?" "I know.." Quinton then said "I remember the words you said to an unconscious person, Ryan.. You said if I'd wake up it would be the thing that others would never have seen. What did you mean by that?" "You've been in intensive care for 3 weeks. And you're still touch and go Quinton. You are not out of the woods yet. You have a brace and we are controlling your comfort and breathing.." As Quinton was about to say something he dropped in and out of consciousness. "Quinton.. Stay with us.." said Ryan as Trish prepared to take him to surgery again. "What's happening?" said Kari. "Kari call his family. This isn't a run of the mill injury. I think he's having a bleed on the brain.." Kari looked in shock as Quinton's neck brace was removed to see scarring from the previous surgery. Kari walked out the door, and as she reached for her phone. Quinton's parents were in front of her. "What happened?" "He was talking and he was awake not just ten minutes ago." Ryan walked out and he said "He's going back to surgery I am sorry. He's showing symptoms of a bleed." Ryan and Trish were wheeling out Quinton when, Samantha looked on.

Again
Quinton walked with his cane and he walked and he walked. This time he was walking to the high school. Quinton walked through the gates and he saw students sitting and eating lunch and talking to each other, some walked up to Quinton and said "How are you going?" Quinton replying with hand gestures. Quinton knew the teachers were having lunch in the common room when he walked down. He opened the door and he smiled as he reached for the handle for the common room. He knocked on the door. Opening the door was Roy, who said quietly, "Quinton.. Come in.." As Roy opened the door Quinton walked in and he saw the reactions of the staff. "Quinton! How are you?" said Kari. As the door closed Kilmer came in and said "We welcome you back with open arms, Dr Quinton, but we need to discuss something." "What is it. Everyone here deserves to know." "The Board of Education has put you on probation from any activity that puts you and your neck at risk. We've decided to bring you in a deputy putting Kari back to the PDHPE department." "Thank god for that!." said Kari. "The Board of Education will also give you 6 months to prove that whatever is in your interest we can double. Since you were camping with family the BET has decided not to give a settlement but if you retire we will settle in a out of court time." Quinton then said "I don't need a settlement. I am returning to work next week. I don't need to prove myself.." "As we thought, but we will like you to know, whatever you need we can help." As Kilmer walked out he smiled a wide smile.

New Deputy
"Michelle, I know you've been enjoying some much needed rest but I need you to do something for me.." said Kilmer to Michelle. "Why what's the matter?" "Quinton's returned back to the PDHPE department and he just called me saying he made his choice." "That choice was 7 months in the making.." "He's quit the deputy position." "He did what?" "He quit the position to go back to what he knows best." "Where does that bring me into the mix?" "Since you're one of the most experienced BET has decided for you to take the position.. What do you say?" Michelle was surprised. "Of course.. I'll take it. But why didn't Kari want it?" "Kari, Kari, John and Phil are to busy welcoming Quinton back and Quinton needs a distraction to get over his spinal injury.." "Just one question.." "Yes?" "Is he chairbound like Saunders was?" "No he's up and walking.." Michelle nodded and said "Alright I'm in, but under my circumstances. 1) I have Mondays off, 2) I can take back the rules of funding toward any department, 3) We finish off the floor for the dance shed." "3 is stupid you only dance once a year.. No on three. The other two are fine." "Alright then, we tell Quinton that we're brining you in tomorrow. I told him it's an old friend taking over his position. Michelle and Kilmer shook hands. Kilmer walked back to Quinton's office and knocked on the door. "I see you're still here Quinton." "Packing my stuff. Bringing in the new deputy requires skill, and I'm not arguing any more. I've made a good choice." Kilmer then said to Quinton, "I'm coming back tomorrow to talk and you are going to be the person who hands over the ranks. It's going to be fine." Quinton smiled and then he said "No matter what I do, it not about me anymore." As Quinton left the room with his stuff Kilmer smiled and chuckled to himself. The next day Quinton met up with Kilmer and Kilmer said "Quinton, here read off this. It'll help." Quinton took the paper and he said "Alright good." Quinton then saw Kari walking toward the hall. "Kari!. Come here for a second." Kari walked over and said "Yeah what's up?" "The P&C is breathing down our necks about this, but here take this camera and film the new changing of the guard. Kilmer will tell you when to stop filming." "What after that." "Onto the schools website and page, parents need to know what is going on." "Alright on it." As Quinton stepped up to the stage, he sat down and waited for his call up. Whilst Quinton was sitting down he made a 'rolling' sign to Kari and Kari started to film. The school captains then said "We'd like to welcome Dr Quinton Philips and Mr. David Kilmer to discuss the future of the deputy principal position. Dr Quinton." As Quinton stood up he had the paper Kilmer gave to him, Quinton placed the paper and the stand and he put the mic to his face. "Good morning teachers, students and members of the Board of Education. For the past couple of months, I have been contemplating a move back to the PDHPE department and a future as deputy principal. Today is the day I make a move to the future. Today I have decided to move back to the department that welcomed me with open arms. I am going back to the PDHPE department." As the crowd drew whispers Quinton continued "As this is a move of change, the position has been offered to many, and only one person selected to take it." Outside the hall Michelle was walking up the steps, she was ready to take on the biggest career move to date. "I'd like to welcome to the deputy position Ms. Michelle Dangerfield." As Michelle walked up to the stage, Quinton stepped away from the mic and reached for the plate that had the badges on it. "Ms. Dangerfield I present you will your name badge and your position badge." As Quinton placed them on Dangerfield's shirt he then received the mic. "These badges will identify who you are and they will tell a story for years to come." "I also present you with the key to the deputy offices, the key offers to open record folders and files." As Michelle stepped to the mic she said "Thank you Dr Quinton, but this is to much. Just let me sink in to the job first." Quinton nodded and said "Go for it." Michelle continued "Just a couple of days ago I was on long service leave because I'd lost a close friend, for about 3 months I walked away from teaching, and walked away from something I held close to me. But receiving the call from BET declaring that Dr Philips decided he needed to go back to the PD department, was the wake up call I needed." As Kilmer was on the stage he decided that he wouldn't say anything. "Today I humbly accept this offer to be the deputy principal and I wont make promises I wont keep, but I promise one thing. To do my job." As Michelle stepped down, Quinton got up again and said "It's been a long couple of years, but we have a new deputy and one who wont make the same mistakes I did. I thank you all for your support and words of encouragement." Quinton then stepped down from the stage and Kari stopped filming.

Not Knowing
Quinton was sitting in his old office, and it was the way he left it. A mess, and it was going to be the same for the next while. Quinton then stepped down into his underground medical bunker and he said to the staff on duty, 'I am releving you of duty. I'm going to let you all go and find a job in a hospital." Quinton said with his head held down. "You're about to do a runner aren't you Quinton.." said on Doctor. Quinton lied "No.. I want you all to get a proper job with the skills you have. Some will be the best surgeons others good nurses. Go on let your dreams come true." As staff started to pack up the medical gear, Quinton saw Dr Ryan, "Ryan.. I never remember having you here as a part of this medical team." "You didn't.. You are running away.. From what Quinton? Staff? A broken neck? It's not going to help, people here love you including your son." "My son wants nothing to do with me anymore and I respect that decision.." "No Quinton. You're running away from this life because you came back from a broken neck to teach PE again and you are going to let people think that running away is a good thing.." Quinton then said "I'm not going back home to Snowy Region I'm going back to home old house to enjoy what I have left." Quinton then slowly walked away.. "What about Kari and John.. You've let them down.." Quinton then said "Do what you want with the staff here.. Send them to the hospital they can work there full time.." Quinton got back to his old office and he put the keys of the table but didn't lock the door. Quinton then walked to the PE staffroom when he was stopped by Kari. "Quinton, do you know where we left the reports for the profit of the team going to go play netball?" "No.." Kari walked away and got to the staffroom and he sat down at his desk. He started writing a note in his workbook. His note reading ''"Dear Staff members who find this, I hope it finds you well. I've decided to walk away from teaching for a lttle while. I need some time to myself and I need to re-discover myself, and make sure I am up for the challenges that face me when I return..''".
