Year 5 Leadership Day

"A true leader has the confidence to stand alone, the courage to make tough decisions, and the compassion to listen to the needs of others. He does not set out to be a leader, but becomes one by the quality of his actions and the integrity of his intent. In the end, leaders are much like eagles...they don't flock, you find them one at a time."

Commencing Week 6 new students and parents were invited to attend the transition to school program which runs for 3 weeks. These occur in the morning. During this time the new students meet their buddies (Year 5 students) and spend time in the kindergarten rooms. This you could say is the beginning of the Year 5 Leadership program.

Today the Year 5 children participated in a Leadership Day led by East Maitland Parish Youth Team. They discussed the qualities of a leader, participated in dramas and worked cooperatively to complete tasks, they stepped out of their comfort zones and looked towards 2012.

Below is a selection of photos taken from the Year 5 Leadership Day.

A Dog Like No Other

What is bloat?

Bloat is when a dog gets a disease that comes in their stomach when they become overstretched by an excessive gas that makes them very ill in many ways and sometimes does not cure.

Other ailments

Another thing that is a serious condition for dogs is flees because fleas carry a disease that is named anemia that makes them dizzy/sick. By Corey

Marley

What is Marley scared of how and does he act when he is afraid?

Well firstly Marley is terrified of thunder and lightning. One time when John and Jenny went out for a nice dinner with the kids, they were trying out how Marley would go at home by himself. When they got home they realised it was an absolute disaster; it was a disaster because when they got home I think Marley had worried in stress and there was blood everywhere.

John went out and brought the biggest cage because Marley is so naughty, they found a lion cage in the pet shop it was supposed to be for a lion but John and Jenny think he is a lion so they tested it with another family dinner. Before they went out they put a bone in the cage and Marley went straight in. So they thought they had striked it right…..but when they came home Marley had ate the wire so he was waiting at the back door for them to arrive home.

I will now list something’s dogs are scared of:
