Yesterday Richard and I were student leaders for the day. We had a meeting in the morning with the previous leaders and planned out what we had to say at the start of morning class. After the meeting with the previous leaders we had a meeting with the teachers and a HDTV link up with Gnurad Gundidj and Alpine School. At the meeting we told the other students who we were and what schools we come from, what our individual and community goals were and a highlight of the past 24 hours.

Talking in front of the community was pretty nerve-racking at first but it got better as we went along. Everyone was really good at the start but then they started getting sloppy, late and really disrespectful which made it harder to get to class on time and more time being wasted. It was really challenging being student leader and it would’ve been a lot better if people listened more. On the other hand it was really fun being student leader because it felt really rewarding.

Today the activities we had in our expo team 1A were Thinking and learning 1 and Intro to bikes. In Thinking and Learning 1 we discovered about how we each individually think and whether we are mostly right or left brained. There were 4 different quadrants of the brain and each one represented a different way of thinking and putting it into actions. In the afternoon session we had Intro to Bikes and we learnt adequate bike safety and had a go at the Whale Watchers track and the obstacle track. Our expo team went really well in the bike ride and everyone had fun on the course.
