Hi everyone, my name is Adam and I was student leader for my second time this term. With me on this little adventure of mine was Chris and we had a really interesting day.

The day started out pretty normal, with 1B, 2A, and 2B all on campus (1A was on Expo). By the time 9:00 O’clock headcount had arrived, most people had realised that 2B were the only group that were going to be here for the majority of the day. So that proved to an interesting day.

After headcount was done, our group got to decide how we were going to run the day. We still had to do our classes that had been set out for the day, but we got to decide when we wanted to do them.

Our classes that had been set out for the day were First Aid and Passports. We decided to do our passport work until morning tea, and then we started on our First Aid work.

We started our First Aid work with some symptoms on hypothermia and hyperthermia and we had to decide where to put them, and I got to organise that activity. After which we paired up and we got given scenarios that we had to act out to demonstrate different types of first aid. The one that I got was to do with fractures. We had to demonstrate what to do if someone had a fracture, and three different types of slings. Some of the other groups had a lot of fun painting there “victims”, and we all had a lot of fun. During the middle of all the presentations we had lunch, which turned out to be really quite with just one group there. When we finished our first aid lesson we still had some time left before class finished, so we went back to our passport work.

We had a really great day as student leader, and we can’t believe how fast this term has gone.
