 * //<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">6/9 BO - This session we acknowledged a guest speaker as he was contributing and speaking about the programs the <span style="border-bottom-left-radius: 2px 2px; border-bottom-right-radius: 2px 2px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-collapse: collapse; border-color: initial; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-style: initial; border-top-left-radius: 2px 2px; border-top-right-radius: 2px 2px; border-top-width: 0px; clear: none; display: inline; float: none; height: auto; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; padding-bottom: 1px; padding-left: 1px; padding-right: 1px; padding-top: 1px; position: relative; text-decoration: none; top: -1px; width: auto;">Western Bulldogs do .The two outreach programs that we are taking in consideration are The cancer council and The starlight foundation. We did all the research for both of the two foundations while we were researching we found out that you had to be 16 and have a working with children's check. So now we are starting from square one and think that we will be helping the kids at a local primary school // **


 * //<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">6/9 HK - Today we meet a guest speaker from the <span style="border-bottom-left-radius: 2px 2px; border-bottom-right-radius: 2px 2px; border-bottom-style: dotted; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-collapse: collapse; border-color: initial; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-left-width: 0pt; border-right-style: none; border-right-width: 0pt; border-top-left-radius: 2px 2px; border-top-right-radius: 2px 2px; border-top-style: none; border-top-width: 0pt; clear: none;">Western Bulldogs​ charity branch. The speaker Chris informed us about the work he did for his community and how he did it. After the enticing talk with Chris we broke off into groups to learn about email tips, phone manners,respect towards the elderly and team work. The email tips class was great because it was a good eye opener on what we need to do to better our proposal towards the organization we liked (eg. K.I.S.S, Keep It Simple Stupid, Use Simple English and the email has to be quick and to the point). The second rotation was the respect towards the elderly with Mr Jibert. In this Class we talked about how we should always treat the elderly and people with disability's the same way you would treat your friend or your class mate because it is degrading and you could offend them. After that we went and learnt about phone manner and respect on the phone line. In that class we learnt about sitting a interview and speaking on the phone line (eg. show manners, be nice, Don't laugh and Know the person you want to talk to). We lastly went with Miss Saunders to learn about our groups members ability to work with each other in a game of making a card house. It was hard and frustrating at time and we gave up many times but i fully believe in my groups ability to work together and complete the outreach program. // **


 * //<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">6/9 BO - This session we had 4 rotations, Firstly we went to Mr Jilbert he taught us about treating people who are different to us (if they have a disability) the same way as you treat a friend at school. Then we went off to Miss Williams she was warning us about the way the letters are written (eg. Make your message clear, make it short and sweet and don't praise the person to much because then you will know it's fake ). After that we spent some more time learning about how to speak and sit a interview (eg. Speak clearly, state your intentions, give them your name and number, make sure there is no background sounds and wear your school uniform with respect and pride. Lastly we went with Ms Saunders to learn about the qualities our group show / have. My group worked as a team but sometimes got frustrated and gave up, we all have different strengths and we put it to our advantages . I believe that my team ' Helping Hand ' is a great working team and if we put our mind to it we will achieve our intentions. // **


 * //<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">6/9 WA- today we meet a guy from western bulldogs charity branch and was telling us about how he was helping refugees and how it's really good to help out the community and he was saying how when you help someone who needs it how good you feel after you help someone. All of the teachers were telling us how its good to help out. In Australia there are so many charities doing something they all have a propose to help out the community and now we are all working together to help out the community. our first plan was star light foundation but we needed to be over 16 and we weren't over 16 and we to 48 week training and we needed a police check and children's check so we couldn't do that so our next plan is to go to schools and help the children learn better and do better in there education. // **


 * //<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">6/9 LD - Todays DEAL session began with all us year 9’s getting into our groups. We logged into our Wiki Spaces and were made aware of the groups that the teaches had set-up and then as a group came up with our group name, outlined our shared values and brainstormed our aim, purpose, desired outcomes and questions we need to ask or answer. Then we had a guest speaker, who was from the <span style="border-bottom-left-radius: 2px 2px; border-bottom-right-radius: 2px 2px; border-bottom-style: dotted; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-collapse: collapse; border-color: initial; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-left-width: 0pt; border-right-style: none; border-right-width: 0pt; border-top-left-radius: 2px 2px; border-top-right-radius: 2px 2px; border-top-style: none; border-top-width: 0pt; clear: none;">Western Bulldogs​ charity branch, come and talk to us about how the club has been involved with the community including immigrants. And not only through sporting events but other aspects such as education. We explained to him our ideas for our outreach programs. // **


 * //<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">After recess we participated in four rotations, led by the teaches. One rotation was called ‘Respectful Support’. Beginning the session Mr Jilbert told a story about his own experience with a disabled person and left us with a lesson; that most disabled people want to be treated like any other normal person. Then depending on the category our outreach programs belonged to, we read through some PDF files/Pages documents. The document we read gave us tips and warnings about the topic ‘Caring For Elderly’, ‘Talking about disability’ or ‘Working with people who don’t speak English’(which my group read). Another rotation was called ‘Letters and Emails’. In this rotation Ms Williams shared her knowledge and gave us tips on how to write the perfect email. We were told that a letter is more formal but for our projects we were going to email organisations as it is easier. In another rotation, with Ms Pham and Ms Jusup, we discussed Phone Calls and Interviews. The teaches did a role play which I believe was a very affective and different teaching tool because by purposely making mistakes it made it clear to us students what to avoid when making a phone call or having an interview. The Do’s, Don’ts and tips we brainstormed in class are going to help us when we want to contact organisations for our outreach programs as well as contacting the bosses of our future jobs. The last rotation was named ‘teamwork’ and as the name suggests we focused on teamwork. In our groups we had to build a house of cards and from this learnt 1. we weren’t very good at it and 2. how our group best operates and what role everyone takes on. We also completed a quiz that reflected what type of team person we are. // **

//*//
 * //<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">At the end of the day we continued working on our WikiSpaces pages and began to write up our Outreach proposals. My group has decided to lend a helping hand at a local primary school (we we’re thinking Christ the Priest) and our next step is to contact the school. We have had some bad luck but we have pulled through it and I believe my group can successfully complete our outreach program. // **
 * //<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">13/9 BO - Today we had a great day in DEAL firstly we watched a couple of youtube videos about this inspirational group. They are a group that are based all over the world when they earn money they used it to help charities all around the world. After that we worked on our outreach program and tried to improve our programs and ideas. After lunch we watched a great inspiring movie called " Pay it foward ". Pay it foward is a great movie that tells you about the how a little man that was only 12 had a theory in his social studies class and it grew and grew and now its world wide :) // **


 * //<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">13/9 DD - Todays DEAL session was very fun, interesting and inspiring. We commenced working on our outreach programs, which we decided to help a local primary school with their learning whilst also making it a fun environment. We also watched a few videos of a musical group performing at the same time at different countries around the world. The purpose was to publish the videos that they created onto youtube and raise some money for charity. We then watched a sad movie called '"Pay it Forward". The movie was about a young boy Trevor who was troubled by his mother that consumes a lot of alcohol. He had an idea for his social class which he decided to 'pay it forward'. Towards the end of the movie, when everything was going well with Trevor and his family, he tries to help a young boy who was getting bullied at school, unfortunately he got stabbed and died. // **


 * //<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">13/9 LD - Today in DEAL because half the year level was on their reflection day we didn’t work very long on our Out Reach projects. My group explored the Christ the Priest website and discussed what subjects we could participate/help with and how we were going to get there. We also outlined the key information we were going to mention in our phone call to the school. After this the classes gathered together and we watched a bunch of youtube clips called ‘Playing for Change’. It was catchy and very inspiring. People from all different parts of the world were singing the same song, some in different languages, or playing a instrument in tune with the song. Some songs we listened to were 'Stand by Me', 'One Love' and 'Don’t Worry'. // **


 * //<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">After Recess we watched a movie called ‘<span style="border-bottom-left-radius: 2px 2px; border-bottom-right-radius: 2px 2px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-collapse: collapse; border-color: initial; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-style: initial; border-top-left-radius: 2px 2px; border-top-right-radius: 2px 2px; border-top-width: 0px; clear: none; display: inline; float: none; height: auto; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; padding-bottom: 1px; padding-left: 1px; padding-right: 1px; padding-top: 1px; position: relative; text-decoration: none; top: -1px; width: auto;">Pay It Forward ’. It is about a 11 year old boy, Trevor, who attempts to make the world a better place after his teacher gives him the chance. He comes up with this concept of paying it forward. Paying a favour not back, but forward. Repaying good deeds not with payback, but with new good deeds done to three new people. It was so cute, inspiring and amazing how on one little boy’s idea can make a huge different to the world and make it a better place. It showed that when you do a good deed you don’t always have to expect and get something in return. Once the movie finished we watched some videos that further explained the movement and how it is evident in real society today. It’s successful on the theory that when you do something good for someone else they become nicer and more willing to do something nice for another person, and so on. There is even a national ‘<span style="border-bottom-left-radius: 2px 2px; border-bottom-right-radius: 2px 2px; border-bottom-style: dotted; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-collapse: collapse; border-color: initial; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-left-width: 0pt; border-right-style: none; border-right-width: 0pt; border-top-left-radius: 2px 2px; border-top-right-radius: 2px 2px; border-top-style: none; border-top-width: 0pt; clear: none;">Pay It Forward​ Day‘ each year, the next one being Thursday, April 26th, 2012. // **


 * //<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">For the last part of the Day we worked on our blogs while listening to inspiring songs, ones which related to our outreach programs. Some of the songs we listened to were ‘Where is the Love’ by <span style="border-bottom-left-radius: 2px 2px; border-bottom-right-radius: 2px 2px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-collapse: collapse; border-color: initial; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-style: initial; border-top-left-radius: 2px 2px; border-top-right-radius: 2px 2px; border-top-width: 0px; clear: none; display: inline; float: none; height: auto; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; padding-bottom: 1px; padding-left: 1px; padding-right: 1px; padding-top: 1px; position: relative; text-decoration: none; top: -1px; width: auto;">Black Eyed Peas, ‘I Believe’ by Honey and ‘Keep holding On’ and ‘Lean on Me’ by Glee. Everyone was singing along and having a fun time. For the final song of the day everyone had to stand up and come together to sing ‘We are the World’ by <span style="border-bottom-left-radius: 2px 2px; border-bottom-right-radius: 2px 2px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-collapse: collapse; border-color: initial; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-style: initial; border-top-left-radius: 2px 2px; border-top-right-radius: 2px 2px; border-top-width: 0px; clear: none; display: inline; float: none; height: auto; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; padding-bottom: 1px; padding-left: 1px; padding-right: 1px; padding-top: 1px; position: relative; text-decoration: none; top: -1px; width: auto;">Michael Jackson . I really enjoyed DEAL today. I think it is the best DEAL lesson we’ve had because it was really inspiring but relaxed. // **
 * //<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">* // **
 * //<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">20/9 WA- today 3 students from crc sydham and all three of them were in community service 1 student was the social leader and she was talking about how not to give up when your doing something and she was telling us about what community service the 2 students were doing the 2nd student bonny was telling us how she was helping out an old lady because was living in a caravan in front of her house because the was all stuffed up and she couldnt live in all the floors walls were moldy // **


 * //<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">20/9 HK- Today three students from Catholic Regional College Sydham came to our school to tell as about the services towards the community.The first student was named Olga who was the leader of the community action group in Sydham she had did countless work for the group such as soup kitchens,donating clothe and working at non profit organizations. The second student Bonnie informed as about her work with a town that had been hit by a flood. The third student Maria told as about how she worked with the elderly and the story she learned by working with them. It was a great to hear from people around our age doing such helpful things for the community. // **

**//<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">20/9 DD - Todays DEAL session was interesting and productive. At the start of the day we had to complete a survey for Ms Revelman. The survey was about our own opinion of the ‘Open Learning Spaces’ of our classroom environment. When we completed the survey, we continued to work on our outreach programs. We decided to go to Christ the Priest, a local primary school to help and support the children and teachers in a different environment. After recess, 3 girls Olgar, Bonnie and Maria from CRC Sydenham came to talk about what they do for community service. They spoke about what they have done in the past and how it benefited the people. Olgar, the leader of the social justice group spoke about YMCA, Bonnie spoke about how she helped an elderly women with her home and Maria spoke about how she volunteered for nursery homes. These 3 girls were really inspiring and motivated us to succeed our outreach program and benefit people of the less fortunate. They have been doing community service for the last few years and it has now become a hobby and passion. //** **//<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">20/9 LD - Today in DEAL we started the morning by participating in a survey Ms Revelman had created. It required our ideas, thoughts and opinions on ‘Open Learning Spaces’. When we completed the survey, Mr. Jilbert introduced two new documents, Communication Doc and Assessment Doc. He also showed us how to use the discussion page on our Wikispaces. We worked on this until it was time for a ‘Soap Box’ session. This was when the whole year level got together and shared their plans, ideas and progress so far. There was four Questions which Ms. Saunders asked which each group had to answer. What is your group name and what is the reason/meaning behind it, What have you done so far, What is your next step and How well are you working as a group? What I got out of the session was an understanding of how the other groups are working, what stage they are up to and at what pace they are moving at. What I learnt from this was that my group isn’t necessarily behind but our ideas are a lot more general then those of other groups. Some groups already know what their doing as we still have a lot of deciding to do. Also that we should try working better as a team, which includes agreeing on ideas and distributing the work load more evenly. ////<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">After Recess three CRC Sydenham students who all belong to the social justice group came in and speak to us. One of the Girls was named Olga, who was the leader of the social justice group at Sydenham. She gave us a broad explanation of the group, what it stands for, the kind of things they do and how we can get involved in the future. Then the other two girls, Bonnie and Maria provided us with some examples by telling us there stories, sharing their experiences, how they have given of themselves to the community and how it made them feel. One girl told us about the time she spends in nursing homes and how interesting old peoples stories are and another girl told us how she along with a group of other students pulled out all the carpet in an old ladies house which had been effected by the floods. They literary spent house pulling out each individual nail, one by one. The girls admitted that it takes a lot of time, work, commitment and effort but all agree that it is worth it. They said the feeling you get at the end of it all is priceless, this great sense of achievement, knowing you have done something which has benefited others. It was very inspiring to see just how passionate and dedicated they are to the group and their communities. //** //*//
 * <span style="color: #00ff62; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">//After lunch my group had our first meeting with our mentor teacher, Ms. Williams.// **
 * //<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">18/10 HK Today in the Deal session our group started with gaining contact details for our out reach program. We later made a decide to pick C.T.P ( Christ The Priest ) for the school of our choice to help.Before we contacted the school we had a meeting with Miss Williams to see how far our group has came and the improvements we had made. I feel the meeting went well because know the whole group is working together. After the meeting with Miss Williams we wrote down want we were going to talk about when we called the school. I found today lesson to be very productive because we were able to contact the school of our choice and we were able to clarify information. // **

 * //<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">18/10 BO - Today's lesson we worked as a group and the great Lauren called C.T.P ( Christ the Priest ) . We put forward our ideas to the office lady and she said that she will put forward the idea to Miss Steere. They got back to us and we got the okay to assist the teaches, support and establish friendly relationships with the students and bring a different and unique feel to the classroom. Our purpose is to run activities that other children in the local community can participate in and benefit from, by providing some fun and a different experience for them while at school. So now we are going over there next Tuesday to see how or aim and purpose works. We are planning for the first day we are very excited and pumped to change children's life style. // **======

**//<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">18/10 DD - Todays DEAL session was the usual. The first four periods we continued to work on our outreach programs. We finally decided to go to Christ The Priest and somehow help the younger students with their literacy learning. Kathy Steere, principal of the school contacted us a few days ago and allowed us to go to their school. After that, we tried calling them back to find out further information about the coming weeks but she was unavailable. Our group thought of going to Christ The Priest for 5 weeks, every Tuesday (when were available) and each one of us will go into a different year level and help them. At the moment, we are waiting for Kathy to call us back. //** <span style="color: #f39e35; display: block; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">//*// **//<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">25/10 BO - Today in DEAL we went to our house groups and made a list for the swimming carnival. I am participating in 25 meters freestyle and 2 novelty activities. Next we went to the briefing area and had a little talk, about our goal settings. my goal setting were very long and i cant wait to live up to these goals in the future. After we went to recess instead of participating in recess we had a great party for 'WORLD TEACHERS DAY'. It was a great day to celebrate all the things the teachers have done for us. After lunch we worked on our out reaching assignment for the whole 2 periods until lunch time. In the 2 periods we called the school we will be working with and writing a great proposal for the school. then lunch came, after a yummy lunch we are working on our project till the end of the day. ' IT WAS A GREAT DAY ' !!!! //**

**//<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">25/10 DD - Todays DEAL session started differently. The whole school came together according to their house team to discuss about the events they would like to do for the incoming swimming carnival. The events that i decided to do was the swimming relay, tunnel ball and noodle race. After the house meeting, we had to go to the teacher that we would spend the day with for the Cultural Cliques excursion on friday to talk about the things we need to bring, not to bring and what we were going to do on the day. The excursion that I am going to is fashion. After this, we needed to work on our goal settings for this term. Which included academic, organisational, social and personal goals for inside and outside of school. //**

**//<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Before recess, we started to do what we normally would do in a DEAL session. We worked on our outreach programs. Firstly, we tried calling back Christ The Priest, but unfortunately the Principal, Kathy Steere wasn’t in. Therefore, we had to send her a email instead including questions about what we should do there. We were supposed start our outreach programs today, now we are going to start it on the 8th of November. //**

**//<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">25/10 WA - today we had to get into our house groups and go to a different place for houses to meet up we had to chose what events activities we had to do for the day im not to sure how many events im doing ahahah but i still am participating so it will be a pretty good day after that we had to go back to the briefing area and they were going to about what activity's we will be doing on the city excursion they were talking about what times we will he going to the places to do our activity then they talked about what food we will be eating and what we want to eat so chose sport i knew it was going to be good so yeah and then after the day we are going to restaurant to eat pizza and that what we did in period 1 & 2 then the rest of the day we worked on our out reach groups. //** **//<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">* //** **//<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">8/11 BO- Today in DEAL we kept working of your great Outreach Program ( Helping Hand). Firstly the whole day we were working on this great project. We sent a email to Cathy Steere from Christ The Priest. The inspiration email included questions that we need to know about the Tuesday coming up like ( when, where, how, transport, what etc ). We started talking to the other group that was going to Christ The Priest so then we could get ideas and inspirational techniques. Later we worked on our blog to make it more interesting, intriguing and fun. We relized that the only way can import pictures if we did it at home so later for homework our group will work on our blogs. //**

**//<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">8/11 WA - today in DEAl we worked on our outreach activity and we had to do it for the whole day and me and group came up with a lot of ideas for the day we are going to the school we thought about how we are getting there and how we are getting back and what are we going to do in the school. We spoke about the games and activities were going to play with the school children and we spoke about the pluses and minuses of what could happen on that day. We thought of many games and activities that we thought the kids would enjoy. Most of the day we spent discussing the day of our outreach so that everything's planned for the day and were not stuck on anything that we hadn't thought about. //**

//**<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">8/11 DD - Today in DEAL we continued to work on our outreach programs as what we have been doing all term. We sent an email to Cathy Steere, principal of Christ the Priest Primary School. The email included questions about what we need to do, what year levels will we be assisting and if we needed to bring anything. Unfortunately, we realised that Cathy Steere is only at the school on Thursdays and Fridays, that was why we couldn’t speak to her through the phone. If we don’t get a reply from her in time (by next week) then we will need to contact a possible local primary school for back up. The back up schools are listed on our wikispaces website. We thought of going to St Peter Chanel. **// //**<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">We also decided on our transport. **//

//** <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">15/11 BO - Today in DEAL we acted on our Outreach Program and traveled Christ The Priest. Our transport to Christ The Priest was by a car, my mum picked us up from Catholic Regional College and drove us to Christ The Priest. When we arrived we signed in and had a little introduction around the school by the Deputy Principal Cathy Steere. Then we went off too or class rooms I was in Prep Blue, Lauren was in 2 Blue, Diana was in 4 Green, Hananiah was in 1 Yellow and Wesley was in Prep Green. We stayed in the classrooms for about 2 hours as we were helping the children with numeracy and literacy. When we finished we got together and walked to Catholic Regional College. I think it was a great experience to work with kids that are really little and inexperienced. Overall i believe it was a great day. **// <span style="color: #3dd01a; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">//**15/11 DD - Today in DEAL we finally started our outreach program to Christ the Priest. The purpose of our outreach program is to assist the teachers in teaching and supporting their students. When we got there, Cathy Steere, who is the deputy principal of the school, allocated my group different year levels that we will be assisting for on the day from Prep - Grade 4. I got allocated to assist the Year 4’s. The students were working on their literacy stuff, which i helped and supported them on. After that, they went into their groups to present a role play about the aboriginals. I was helping a group that asked me if I could be their narrator, apart from that I was just watching them. We stayed at Christ The Priest from 9 - 11am. Overall, our first day at our outreach program was fun and interesting. It was also a good feeling that we had an opportunity to give out to the community.**//
