Really, how are we suppose to know the things you can or can not do.

I don't think its that - I think all he wants is for us to help him structure his list properly - a bit like a CV or resume.

That's a great list. I have made some recommendations in red, if you would like to consider them.

There seem to be a few replicated items - think about how you might structure your list so they stand-out a bit better.

Look at how I've substituted some words - it gives a greater structure to what you can do. Don't sell yourself short. Be methodical.

• fix day to day computer problems <---need more detail here (e.g. what problems?)
  
• Uninstall redundant software on computers
• Perform regular maintenance on computers in the lab to ensure they are running well and without problems) <--- list maintenance tasks you can perform
• Reinstalling Windows when required.
• Keep all computer, library and associated lab equipment clean
• Keep track of what/when things need replaced. <--- need more detail (what things?)
• Perform regular virus/spyware scans monthly
• Assist teaching staff when required (more detail - assist with what?)
  
• Ensure netbook/laptop cage wiring are neat and tidy
• Do Windows/Software Updates when needed. Part of maintenance?
• Fix Common/easy computer problems Part of maintenance?

Thanks Golden; I understand now. If you have been doing these things for them in the past I would mention that. Something like. I have been doing these things all along for the past ((xxxx time) and enjoyed the time and I would like to continue.
I presume that a teachers helper is time donated, (no pay). I would think mentioning that you doing these task takes a work load off of the I.T. department so they can address their attention to other needed I.T. duties.
The point.
1. They probably know you can do all those things, a reminder is great idea. Your list.
2. They already know you will do it. Your past work record.
3. Now convincing them that they still need your service to me is the prime objective.

Try and get a letter of recommendation from your former IT boss.

That's a great idea Phone Man.
