Quote of the day:

"We cannot truly face life until we face the fact that it will be taken from us" ~ Billy Brown.

Today everybody had Leadership Day for all of the classes. We rotated through four different activities, each one going for about 25 minutes and they were: role models, styles of leaders, attributes of a leader and understanding the needs of a group. In role models we talked about who our role models are and why. We also talked about the qualities people had that made them our role models. In the styles of leaders class, we discussed three different types of leaders: democratic, autocratic and relaxed. A democratic leader is someone who is fair and runs things by having discussions. Autocratic leaders are people who are dominant leaders, so they take control and are confident and focused on the task. Relaxed leaders are casual and laid back and they don't get stressed or frustrated. In the attributes of a leader class we made Leadership Balls (also known as Rum Balls), where we talked about how different qualities that leaders have, hold the team together, just like different ingredients do when cooking something. Our last class was about understanding the needs of a group. In this class we discussed the needs of an individual, a group and a task.

All these classes were really good and I enjoyed all of them because they were really informative and helpful.

Last night's evening class was Snowy's Got Talent and it was a talent show run by 1B. There were eleven acts and some of the acts were dancing, singing, magic acts and musicians. It was a really fun night and we all got a good laugh out of it.

Today is also Selfie Sunday. I think my biggest challenge this week has been trying to prevent and solve conflicts, as we had a few in our CLP team. We did solve them eventually, but it would have been good to prevent them completely. My biggest success this week is doing well as a student leader yesterday. I think I went alright with it because although I didn't achieve the community goal, I achieved my personal goal of Social Relationships.
