My letter to school

I’ve been enjoying the Automotive Cert III course tremendously so far. ____ has been a fantastic teacher and he really knows his stuff well. He’s also very entertaining. No he did not ask me to say anything good about him! haha

Anyway I’m sending you this email because we’ve had prior correspondence before. Just want to say that while the pantry facilities are generally ok and I really appreciate the two microwave ovens there, they are probably overdue for a replacement.

The white one on the left hardly heats food, even at full power. To heat a good meal requires well over five minutes. Its shell has also cracked and I’m concerned about microwave leakage.

The one on the right is considerably more powerful, but it could use a comrade-in-food heating. Actually it could also use replacement as the turntable no longer works. Heating is thus quite a bit more uneven than it should be.

Both serve our needs now, but anecdotally (I don’t have official numbers or a petition!), we really could use new machines for the pantry. There’s also space for a toaster oven and demand for that, should there be the budget!

Since you have read this far, can I enquire about my eligibility for a subsidised Cert IV in Automotive, and the cost? Also what’s the schedule like? I’m considering my options whether to do a cert IV or just focus on working full time as a mechanic after I complete my course :)

Sincerely,
