Quote of the day "If one day the speed kills me, don't cry because I was smiling." ~ Paul Walker This is one of the last days that we will ever have at Snowy River and it was also the day I was student leader for the last time. I felt that I definitely improved on my skills from the time that I was first student leader especially with my listening viewing and responding. At 7:30 Jordan and I went to the morning meeting where we discussed with Mr. Pfanner our global issue and also the community goal. As for our global issue we talked about extreme heat rises in some parts of the arctic which went up by an average of 16 degrees. What we thought this meant to the community was that global warming is becoming a real problem and it’s affecting the indigenous people, the land, and also all of the wildlife which require a specific habitat to live in. We also talked about our community goal, we decide that we wanted to do something fun and enjoyable which got everyone involved. We intertwined games with the community walk that we do every Wednesday. After we wrote in the rest of the student leader sheet we did a video conference with the Gnurad-Gundidj campus and Alpine Campus (the other two School for Student Leadership campuses). We listened to the other two groups presentations and then we presented our own. I believe that we did really well with our speech as we spoke clearly and we kept great eye contact to our audience. A.M. Class For our A.M class we had first aid scenarios which was ran by Mrs. Francis and she told us about what we would be doing which was acting out first aid scenes where one group was the injured and the other group was to respond to them our group started off as the people who were responding to the situation. As we walked down we saw that there was a car accident and there were many people with various different types of injury's such as spinal, head, lacerations, amputation etc. After the group had all been treated we swapped roles and the other group got ready to be the responders. We got ready to be the injured. My role was to have my whole body burnt and also a spinal injury as our scenario was an exploding gas tank. After we finished this activity and packed everything away I went and washed all of the fake blood off my body. Yesterday’s Evening Class Community Walk WWW.Now What? The activity was first aid scenarios where we portrayed both the injured and the first aiders. I learnt how to treat multiple different injuries and we also learnt about priorities when it comes to first aid situation and we were taught that it is always yourself, then everyone around you and then the patient. I felt really good after the activity as it was both educational and fun. I can apply this learning in the future to any first aid situation that I come across. By Jack, Snowy River Campus Student
