Who decides our dates?

More of a vent but who in the Victorian DET comes up with these terms dates, holidays and schedules?

For example, isn't it better if

- a school year to consist of 38 weeks rather than the current 40/41 weeks?

- the last term to be the shortest since both students and teachers are burnt out?

- the last term to end approximately two weeks before Christmas so that it gives time for teachers or families to prepare for Christmas and/or travel interstate or internationally to see their other families ?

- the term 3 holidays to end a few days or a week after Daylight Savings begin to give time for our bodies to adjust?

- the teacher salary progression was at the start of the year rather than in May?

27M AUS looking for friends

Hey there!

I’m a gay man from Melbourne and I’m looking to build some supportive friendships with people and hopefully meet each other one day in person.

I work full time but always down for a convo. I don’t have many hobbies but I like rewatching old tv shows, listen to music and experiment a bit with cooking.

On the weekends, I like to hangout with my partner in the city, strolling around and going to cafes we’ve never tried before.

If you’re interested in making a friend (only 25+ please), send a DM and tell me a bit about yourself ☺️

27M AUS Looking for friends

Hey there! Thought I'd try this again.

I'm a happily partnered 27-year-old gay aussie indian from Melbourne looking to create friendships that last longer than a week.

My life is pretty hectic as I work full time but I'm always down to make new friends around my age. I'd preferably like to meet bros in real life but also happy to make friendships across the globe.

I don't really have hobbies these days but I like going into the city, walk around a bit, trying out new food places. Sometimes, I like to spend my evenings rewatching old TV shows or watch gameshows like Deal or No Deal.

So, if you want a friend to talk to or build a supportive, lasting friendship, hit me up!

Bear Massages

Does anybody know if there are any gay bears/chubs that offer massages here in or around Melbourne CBD?

Most of the masseurs on Massage Guys are fit/muscular and I’m looking for someone with a similar physique as mine to feel more comfortable.

Thanks!

27M Looking for genuine friends

Hey there!

I’m 27M based in Melbourne looking for genuine friends anywhere in the world (25+) to chat and build a friendship with. Some of my interests include discovering new music, trying out new restaurants or cuisines, and sightseeing (something I’d like to do more of). I love rewatching old sitcoms and some reality shows.

I am partnered and in a monogamous relationship. I’m a chub and would like to get back in shape but at this point in time, it’s not the biggest priority for me (low motivation, not consistent and so don’t judge 😣).

I genuinely enjoy conversations and getting to know other people and their life. I miss that aspect, especially with my current work life. If you’re into having conversations or just want to chat without any set expectations, send a DM ☺️
