Student Led Conference Reflection




The things I enjoyed most about my SLC were:
Showing my dad my learning because when I talk to him about national standard he doesn't usually get it. But now I'm very sure he gets it now. I also liked showing him my writing because I've never shown him my writing.

What went well and why?
I think showing him my asttle because I explained what every box meant and what my scores meant with lots of detail because the asttle test results sound very simple once you get used to it but If you've never heard of them before they and get rather confusing
What were the challenges you faced when preparing and presenting your SLC?
Getting all the correct links for everything was probably the hardest part of preparing it because I had to link all my modelling books and blog posts etc. The hardest part of presenting was making talking about everything my dad has never heard of with great detail.


What changes would you make for next time and why?
I would make sure all my links were correct because 1 of my modelling books were the wrong one but thankfully it didn't effect anything about my SLC.

Leadership

Yesterday I had a very important meeting about leadership.
A few weeks ago my whole class did an action plan and as I come under the leadership group I had to organise a event.
Yesterday I had a meeting with Mr Mcallum to discuss what we should do. So we are having some children who performed at the multicultural assembly to perform at the open day. Thankfully MrMacllum has found 5 people who can do it so that is really awesome!!

The Care value/learner quality I have used
I used active thinking as in the end we came to a final dissuasion about what we should do and I also have done a lot of this on my own with organising the meetings and so on.

The Leadership quality I have used
I used resilience because we had to change the original idea around a little bit because it was much better and suited more people.

I actually really enjoyed librarian because it was nice and sunny and the bean bags were really nice when they're in the sun for a bit.
Firstly I got some books out that I either haven't read or I have read once.
I was reading to one boy and one girl, the books I read to them were spots books, which is rather funny because I used to read spot books when I was younger as they are a little old.
After reading to the little kids I was walking back with Alicia and I overheard one of the little kids I was reading to yelling so I got and check and their is a "little Kids" argument so I got the one I was reading to, to go and play with some of her friends because they were yelling at her, I would've told Peer mediators but sadly I couldn't see any at the time.

Overall This week has been good for leadership as I feel I'm getting lots of things done.

Librarian

Yesterday I had librarian, as usual we read to the little kids.
I decided to read something new, something that wasn't a barbie book or a spot the dog book as they get very boring after a few weeks.
I was reading to three little girls who mainly liked girly books which was okay as I got some different types of "girly" books.

Leadership quality:

Leadership

This week I have been doing some leadership
Firstly we didn't have the best weather this week so on one of the days the flag was up it got drenched!
But thankfully we put up the Samoan flag the next day so it was okay! Mrs Smith dried the flag  near her heater in her office.
This week we have been doing an action plan so we are planning something for the end of the term.
Also this we was an ESOL meeting so we had to greet some people, but they usually know what they're doing.

Care Value
The care value I used was active thinking because making the action plan did take rather long but it worked very well.

Leadership Trait
The leadership quality I used was Resilience because on the day of the bad weather I had to put the flag down! But I did it even though it was freezing!

Librarian

Yesterday I had librarian, I think I choose some really good books for librarian because The little kids really liked the books I choose out. I have found that the most popular books are, spot the dog and barbie books.
But it gets VERY dull reading them several times.
Overall I still enjoyed librarian as I still get to read to different little kids every week witch is always fun!

Care Value
The care value I used was Respect as for some reason this time I found it very hard to carry the beanbags so I made sure to respect them as they do cost a lot of money.

Leadership Trait

On the bus at tech

This week I was at tech, I wasn't their last week because I was sick.
I think I was showing all the bus values, because I talked to the person next to me so the driver could concentrate.
I always make sure to sat thank you. I was also very respectful in science. It was the last lesson and it was by far my favourite lesson. I also did what the science teacher said because we made slime it was VERY fun to play with.

Care Value
The care value I showed was Excellence because I tried my best in making the slime even if it went a but off sometimes.

Leadership Trait
The leadership trait I showed was active thinker because when we were making this thing (I sadly can't remember what it's called.) I found a way to improve it and make it the best I can.

Example/Non Example
Is a void messy? Why or why not?
No, as It’s completely messy so there is no space for ANY mess.
Which color is the most fluorescent at night? Why?
Its would be a natural colour as It gives of light from heat or energy.
Why are elderly people more vulnerable than children? Why?
As they aren’t as strong boned and they’ve been in the world longer so they’ve used their bones a lot more.
Which is more interconnected; a vine or a dandeloin? Why?
A vine because you can firmly hold onto a vine and a dandelion is very small and doesn’t have as much grip.
Which is more seldom; the Olympics or an election in NZ? Why?
The olympics because elections are much more often in New Zealand.

Extended Writing
Think of a time when you felt as though you were in a void or when you saw something that happens seldom. Write a paragraph about this.
A time when something void has happened is when I have travelled to England. Ever since I have lived in New Zealand (which is 8 years.) I have been to England twice. One time for my Uncle’s Wedding and one time in 2012 It is a very rare thing as It costs a lot of money.

Open nights - Homework Challenge

For a homework challenge I went to 3 different open nights. I really liked all of them but some stoof out more then others.
The first one I'm talking about is Hagley College I didn't mind it But It wasn't my favourite as I just didn't feel as interested but, it still is a good school and I have a friend who goes there who's doing well. I noticed that in year nine you don't choose a specific set of subjects to do, you do a bit of everything.


The second one I'm talking about is Burnside high school I saw it was very big school with lots of students! and the drama is amazing I really like drama so I thought that was very cool I also really liked the speeches The head students gave I really liked them and found them very interesting. I also LOVED the library because it was massive and I love reading!





The last one I'm talking about is Hillmortan High school. I really liked this one! I saw some of my friends from last year and they were very welcoming. I really liked the cooking and science I think they were very cool I also liked the                                                                                               computer stuff they did with 3D printing and                                                                                           programming.
