Matt and Jakeb's Day as Student Leaders Print

Yesterday we had Rest Day. All of the different people here had all different ideas of what they had in mind to do. Some went to play tennis and some just stayed here to sleep.

We were the student leaders for the day as well. It was difficult at first getting out in front of everyone to speak but the more we did it the more confident and the more relaxed we got.

After lunch most of us went to the beach but for the rest of us, we stayed here and listened to music and just hung out. When everyone from the beach got back, we decided to have a community game. We played 40-40 home. Everyone participated, had fun and enjoyed themselves. For some of us it brought us a little bit closer because we communicated to each other to discover where the players were whether they were "it" or not. Afterwards we had DEARR. Then after DEARR and dinner we had the evening class and we watched a film called “Freedom Ride”. It was a film about Charlie Perkins and how he revolutionised the entire view of the aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
