Student Reflection - Alyssa and Macey 9E
On Friday 6 November, Year 9s had their Reflection Day. The day consisted of presentations from guest speakers, the Wellbeing Team, and a reflection session with Ms Lawrence and Mr Travers.
Throughout the three sessions, we explored the theme of compassion and what it means in our everyday lives. Our first guest speakers were Dianne and Lisa from the Kyneton Food Bank. They spoke to us about how the food bank is run, and how they help people with food insecurity.
Our following guest speaker was Felicity from McAuley Services for Women and Children. She talked about the support McAuley offers to women and children experiencing homelessness and family violence. In the reflection session we took a moment to take in all the information that we had learned throughout the day and think about our upcoming journey into senior school.
Our College Wellbeing Team presented the importance of showing compassion to others and ourselves, and how we can demonstrate this into senior school.
Students were also asked to donate canned goods and sanitary items to the Kyneton Food Bank and McAuley Services. We collected a large amount of donations to give to those who need it most. Learning about what these services provide helped us to have a deeper understanding of the need in our community.
Overall, the day was a fun and engaging way to learn about with problems that we have in our society today.
Thank you to everyone who made the day possible for us.
