Leadership meeting Merit evidence #4

On Monday at morning tea the 2016 leaders had there weekly leadership meeting.  First we started off by asking questions to Mr Ladbrook.  Next we seperated into groups because we all had different things to do.  The heads and deputies had to write a speech for assembly because we have to announce our poster competition that we are running. The poster competition has started and runs until the end of Term 1.  Hopefully we will have a good response to this. Kyla and I also have to write a speech for opening Tabloid Sports which is on Monday.  I showed leadership by being at the right place at the right time to attend the meeting.

Senior librarian Merit evidence #5

On Thursday Jonathan, Madyx and I had our weekly library police duty.  We got to work and printed out the overdue lists.  There was an issue with the printer we normally use, so Mrs Ward had to change the printer settings and print them off for us. Once we had the lists we stapled the reminder card to each class list and then placed them in class order ready for Mrs Ward to put in the teachers pigeon holes.  There is a lot of students who have overdue library books!  We took the year 7/8 lists back to class ourselves once we were done and gave them to the teachers who then told those students that had overdue books to get the books back to the library asap.  I showed leadership by being in the right place at the right time to do my duty. 

Senior librarian Merit evidence #4

On Thursday at lunch time I had my weekly library police duty with Madyx and Jonathan.  This week was different because it was Easter so we get Friday, Monday and schools get Tuesday off as well.  Because of this week being a short week and next week being even shorter, Mrs Ward said there wasn't much point printing out the over due book lists as teachers would not have much chance to tell the children about the books before we print the lists next week. So instead of doing my normal library duty the heads and deputies meet out the back of the library and we had to come up with an example poster for our poster competition .  It has to have the Oaklands school culture in it.  E.G. House colours, Sports, CARE values etc.  I showed leadership by being at the right place at the right time to do my library duty.

Kauri team event Merit evidence #5 (Run Bike Run)

On Monday the kauri team had there annual Run Bike Run.  It was going to be at Westlake but they don't have toilets so it was at Halswell Domain.  We all have to walk down there because it doesn't take long.  When we got to Halswell Road there was a police officer to stop the traffic so we could cross the road safely.  When we got to the Domain it was very hot so we had to find some shade to sit in.  We could be in a team of 2 or 3 to do the run bike run or do it by ourselves.  When we were not racing one year group would be playing games and when you weren't doing that you had to be in the shade talking.  Our race was last so we had to wait a while.   I was in a team with Joseph T and Madyx.  Joseph was doing the first run, Madyx was doing the bike and I was doing the last run.  We got about 10th out of all the year 7/8 teams.  Afterwards we each got a pozi and then we had to sit back down.  Overall the day was very hot and it was fun competing.  I showed leadership by listening to the teachers and trying my best.  

Senior Librarian Merit evidence #3

On Thursday at lunch time I had Senior Librarian duty with Madyx and Jonathan.  We were there to do our library police duty! First off I went on the computer and generated the class lists of overdue books and then printed them out. Mrs Ward had to go and get them from the printer for us as the normal printer we use was not working and waiting to be fixed.  Once we had the pages we got our overdue list folder and stapled the overdue reminder page to each class page.  After we had done that we put them in class order and took out the year  7/8's as we take these back to class ourselves.  I showed leadership by being in the right place at the right time to do my duty.

Technology at Lincoln Merit evidence #4

On Tuesday I had to get to school early because I had tech at Lincoln and the bus leaves and 8:30.  Once we got there I went to class.  The first thing we do is the roll. After that we did an online reflection on how we think it went.  It took a while because there were a lot of questions and the computer that I was on was slow.  After I had done that Jonathan, Scott and I continued making our app.  The worst thing was it cost $25 to start an account to publish games.  For the rest of the time we just made games and saved them in our account.  I showed leadership by being at the right place at the right time to catch the bus.

Leadership meeting Merit evidence #3

On Monday we had our weekly leadership meeting where all the 2016 leaders meet and talk about stuff.  In this meeting we started off doing our plans.  For the heads and deputies we are planing a poster competition and it is a gold coin entry and the money raised is going to Ronald Mcdonald house.  After that the heads and deputies started our speech for the run bike run.  The heads have to do the speech but if one of them is away the deputy has to step in and do it.  I showed leadership by listening and contributed ideas.

Senior librarian Merit evidence #2

On Thursday at lunch time I had my weekly library duty with Madyx and Jonathan.  Our role is to print out the overdue book list and get them ready for Mrs Ward to put in the teachers pigeon holes.  We are called the library police.  Also on Thursday Mrs Ward came into our class at 9:00 and gave Madyx, Jonathan and Myself sheriff badges in front of everyone, it was very funny because everyone was laughing.  At lunch time Mrs Ward was not there because she had to go out and do a couple of things, so the library was closed.  The librarian's still came but all they had to do was put the books away.  We just did what we normally do which was print out the overdue book lists.  I showed leadership by being at the right place at the right time to do my library duty.

Technology at Lincoln Merit evidence #3

On Tuesday I had to get to school early because it was tech and we leave for tech at 8:30.  There was only 1 bus when we were ready so the other group had to wait.  They didn't have to wait long because the other bus came just as we were leaving.  Once we got there we went to our class, I am in sewing.  The first thing we did was sign in on the iPad and then we got into our group and started our problem.  There was one problem though, our problem wasn't going to work because it was "there's no winter sport" and the choice had already been made.  So we were back to square one.  We had to come up with more ideas.  Our new idea is to make an app/game to put on the App Store/Play Store.  We ended up making a NBA version of a game called 2048.  Instead of the numbers there are photos of NBA players.  We have not published it yet because we ran out of time.  I showed leadership by using my time wisely.

Leadership meeting merit evidence #2

On Monday at morning tea we had our weekly leaders meeting in our class. In this meeting we talked about a very important leadership trait called integrity.  Integrity means being fair and honest.  We also said that if we make a mistake we should fess up to what we did otherwise people won't respect us and say that we lie.  We also meet up with our group that we are doing our plan with.  My group is with Kyla, Hannah and Jack W.  We are planning a poster competition about the school culture but it hasn't started yet.  I showed leadership by being in the right place at the right time to attend the meeting. 

Technology at Lincoln Merit evidence #2

On Tuesday's the year 7/8's went to tech at Lincoln primary school.  Once we got there we went to our classes.  I am in sewing.  As soon as we got there we had to do the roll by tapping on our face twice.  Mrs Scott and Mrs Patterson set that up.  The first thing we did was discuss what we were going to do and then we started planning for our new activity.  We had to write down problems that were annoying us.  Once that was done we found a group, my group is Jonothan, Scott and me.  We had to compare all of our ideas and then choose 1 idea.  Our idea was to have winter sport.  So we had to think of ways to to get our message through.  We are going to do a survey and then right a letter to Mrs Trotter about it.  I showed leadership by getting to school on time so I didn't miss the bus.

Leadership meeting Merit evidence #1

On Mondays the leaders have there meetings.  Monday was my first meeting because I was away last week at the cricket.  At the meeting we read a book about leadership and then we talked about it.  The book was called 8 things I wish I knew about high school written by GRIP leadership.  After that the heads and deputies continued with our plan on our poster competition.  We had to check the comments that Mr Ladbrook had left because there was still some stuff that we hadn't done.  The worst thing about that was that we only got about five minutes on that.  I showed leadership by being at the right place at the right time to attend the meeting.

Kauri team event Merit evidence #1 (Jellie Park)

On Friday the whole Karui team went to Jellie park for the swimming sports. Once we got there the leaders sat away form everyone else because we had to help out.  Once we were settled we had some morning tea.  After that we went and got changed and then the races started.  You could choose width of length, I chose width.  First we started with the width races and worked up the year levels so the year 4 boys went and then the year 4 girls and so on.  There were 2 races that you had to do, they were kickboard and freestyle.  My results were 4th in kickboard and 2nd in freestyle.  After all the width races were done we did the house activities.  All the leaders had to help because we had organised them.  The 2 games were called madness where we throw objects in the pool and the house that gets them all back the fastest wins.  The other game was splash, the aim of that game was the house that made the biggest splash wins.  After that we had lunch and then we did the length races. After that we went back to school but there was 1 problem, there weren't enough buses so we had to wait for about an hour and when we got back to school the time was nearly 4 o'clock.  I showed leadership by listening to the teachers when I was meant to.

On Thursday at lunchtime Madyx, Jonathan and myself went to the library because it was our library duty.  This year our roles are to check and see if there are any overdue books and if there is we print a piece of paper off and then Mrs ward puts it in the teachers pigeon hole.  Also we have to check the teachers account and renew the books and other stuff that they have out.  On Thursday there was just some stuff on the teachers accounts that we had to renew.  I showed leadership by being at the right place at the right time to do my duty.
