Yesterday we had beliefs and values class which I thoroughly enjoyed. We sat in a circle and discussed our beliefs and values. We got to understand that people may have different opinions and that is okay as everyone has the right for free speech. We started our discussion by using deep speech cards which have very broad and important questions like: If you could change something in this world what would it be? What is the main problem in our society? What’s the most important thing in life? Etc.

Being able to freely speak and discuss our opinions was a very engaging and valuable lesson, it is definitely my favourite class so far. I got to share my opinions and views and I was quite happy that most of us had the same views especially socially. Referring to Jane Rowe’s talk I am too excited for how our generation will try and fix what’s wrong with the world as most of us have that one vision. Also I know during the class some other students had never thought about these questions thus not having opinions. They all said that this class was an eye opener and made them think about these important questions. We would never do this at our schools at home which is a real shame. I think that learning with a discussion is more effective that being presented too as we get involved in the class.

We had finally gotten the chance to showcase our skills in the CPR Exam. I was just a little bit nervous because I thought that we had to do an actual multiple choice question test. But instead we were put in situations relating to the booklet we were given and had to react on the dummy to see if we did everything as the booklet said and also do 5 cycles of 30 compressions and 2 breaths in 2 minutes. I did really well and our entire expo group completed it.

We also had our first LLP class. My group is Courtney, Lexi, Tiana and I. We plan to do a Bushdancing session with the 21 year 6’s that are coming to Snowy River and educate them on how Bushdancing came about and also how to Bushdance. I really look forward to or official LLP day and I hope it all works out.
