Everyone knows eachother and the teachers and the kids appear to have a good relationship both within and out of the classroom. However, when a teacher is sick, the others pitch in to help which can mean occassionally stretching out of ones comfort zone. English teachers can be thrown into the music room, music teachers are asked to help out in the computer lab and German professors can be sent to take the year 7s in cooking science class. It is all part of life in the village and a certain amount of flexibility is essential to survive.

The rescue took place with little fuss and the the travelling pair were free to continue their journey, soaked through, although a little less wet behind the ears.
