Yesterday 1A, my group, had CLP in the morning and Peer Skills in the afternoon. CLP stands for Community Learning Project and I about a project we are completing while here at SRC.

Endeavour Hills’s project is to throw a ceremony for our school’s legacy. Our school is closing down at the end of the year and we wanted something to remember it by. So we have decided to create a garden in memory. In the garden will be a tree, plants and everyone’s names on a wall who has ever attended Endeavour Hills Secondary College. I believe that we all finally have a clear idea of what we’re doing and we’re almost finished our Master Plan for it.

In the Afternoon our class had Peer Skills and I think that went well. We had a discussion on what we would do if someone close to us told us they were pregnant. I said that I would still love them and support them as much as they needed me to. Then in our evening class we watched a film called “The Power of One.” It’s about an English boy growing up in Africa learning what the world is like during World War I. We have only watched the first part of it but I look forward to seeing the second part tonight.

Yesterday 2A had Peer Skills and CPR exam. In Peer Skills we were mainly learning about problem solving and using this technique called POOCH which stands for Problem, Options, Outcomes, Choice, and How did it go?. I thought that the lesson was pretty fun. We also had a discussion using the deep speak cards, that was fun and interesting to hear different points of views on the topics. Lunch was nice, we had sandwiches. In the afternoon we had our CPR exams on the CPR lesson that we had a few days ago. Every one passed which was good and had some fun doing revision before we had to do the test. It felt good knowing that I have the knowledge to save a life if I am ever in that situation which I hope I never will be. If we completed it early we worked on our passports and it was a great day. I also enjoyed watching the first part of ‘The Power of One’ and look forward to the second part tonight.
