Kelsey and Robert from the ICT Group interviewed Mr Ferguson.

What kind of things do you do around the school?

I open the school in the morning, I supervise in the playground at playtime and lunch time.  I pick up litter and check that the there are hand towels in all the toilets.  These are just some of the things I do.

What time do you start and finish work?

I’m at school for about 7.30am each morning.  I usually finsih about 5 o’clock but I often have to come back to school to open and close it for groups who are using the school in the evening.

Have you ever been a janitor before?

Yes, I used to work at Dingwall Academy.

What is good about being a janitor?

You’re kept going all the time.  Seeing the children growing up.

What is the worst part of your job?

When I have to take thinks out of the toilet and sinks that shouldn’t be there.  When people leave the taps running and flood the place.

What’s your favourite duty?

I like playground duty because you get a laugh with the kids.
