Today in DEAL during the first two periods we were asked to take down notes on what our proposals will have to include, meetings we will soon be having and everything else we need to know about our outreach groups. We also learnt about what temperament each of us were and how to deal with other people according to what colour they were. The different colours were blue, orange, green and gold. We found out which one we fit into and also what the teachers fit into. We started watching Pay it Forward in period 3 and it ended up going on for the next 3 periods. The movie was very inspirational and enjoyable to watch. It was about an 11 year old boy, Trevor, who was given an assignment that wasn’t supposed to be taken seriously but he did anyway. He was given the assignment to change the world in anyway possible no matter how big or small. His idea was to do something good to 3 different people and eventually those 3 people will do something good for 3 other people. His idea was that eventually it’ll get bigger and branch out with everyone doing something good for each other. His project was called ‘Pay It Forward.’ The movie finished with Trevor being stabbed by a couple of kids in his class because he was trying to stop them from beating up another kid in his class. I enjoyed the movie a lot and was actually surprised by the ending, it was unexpected and tells us that anything can happen.

Today during deal we watched the movie called pay it forward. The movie was very inspiring to what we are doing in out reach. It had a very big message in it and it made us all want to participate in our groups even more. It made me think that a lot of people in the world need our help and my group if we work really hard we can achieve to help some of these people. The movie reflects on if you do something good for somebody else you’ll get it in return.

Today in DEAL we were informed about all the paper work we would have to complete throughout the year un DEAL. The teachers talked about how we would have to fill in certain forms and documents like proposals, meeting, timelines and activity submission forms. We had to start to think about what we wanted to focus on as our outreach program. We learnt some valuable tips that would help us do well in our Outreach. It was a bit overwhelming to see how much work we have to do, it made me realise it won’t just be fun and games. We also watched a movie called pay it forward. This movie was about a kid named Trevor who was in his first year of high school, in his social studies class he was given an project to make an initiative that would change the world. Trevor came up with the idea of ‘Pay It Forward’. This idea was for three people to do something nice for three people and it would continue, for every time someone did something nice or kind for you you would then go and do something nice for three people and it would be like a long chain that would just continue. The rest of the movie is about Trevor’s journey in making his initiative come true and the complications he faces. Over all it was a good day that prepared us for what is yet to come in Outreach 2012.

Overall in today’s Deal lesson, we viewed the Year 9 Outreach Proposal for this year and learned about the different planning methods, agendas and the many expectations that are wanted from us in order to succeed in our project. The paper work appeared to be hard but it eventually became understandable in a way, the hard went to easy and the bad to good. Note taking had to be done for this or we wouldn’t remember any of this for the next lesson. I feel that my group could possibly direct their attention to our weakness’ and become more aware of the dangers, faults and obstacles that could possibly stop or delay us from our motive. Now the documentation we had taken down of course had words that none of us in the group had understood so it was rather difficult but we eventually got there. The last theory work we had done is the finding of our temperaments. Gold, Greed, Blue and Orange are the four temperaments. I ended up becoming a Bluorage temperament, Blue and Orange. My enthusiasm towards subjects and my emotional understandings allowed me to understand my faults and strengths that I can help the group with. After all the documentation we watched the movie “Pay it Forward”, the story begins with a boy new to school with a new teacher who gave the class a year long project, “How could you possibly change the world and make it a better place?” or something like that. The boy of course is the main character of the story and he has the greatest initiative of all students in his class. He had an idea to help 3 people and then those people with then help another 3 and so on and so on; 3 to 9 to 27 to 81 and to wherever! He helps out the teacher who has suffered a life or misery, his classmate and a homeless man who he gives the greatest favor to. The story goes well and beautifully until the point where these people he helped take a turn and he fails to help them. However the hype begins again when his motivation for them reaches the homeless man and the teacher so that they both become better people. However not all stories have happy endings, in his last act of kindness he decides to help out his classmate who has been bullied over and over again with no avail, but when he stands up he faces his demise. Death. The child’s idea reached from Las Vegas to Los Angeles faster than anything without him even knowing and his legacy still goes on with his idea. The story is a great way to help us think about what we could possibly do for our outreach project and what our aim is. We want to make the people we reach to just happy and content, and to let them know people who help like us still exist not for the cause of the project and for the student marks but out of our good will.

Today, we learnt various things about the paperwork we needed to fill out in order to progress in the OutReach Program. We learnt the OutReach initiative proposal form and what was in it. This included information about our group, the initiative we wanted to do, the outcome we wanted and any questions we needed to be answered before proceeding. We learnt some valuable tips essential for this program. These included tips such as correctly following instructions given, how everything needs to be done right the first time and tips that would help get the OutReach teams working cohesively. This tip was working with each individual’s strengths and work on the weaknesses so that the team works effectively. We also learnt about creating Contacts Lists, Planning Meetings, Timeline planning and filling out the Activity Submission Form. I felt that we did a pretty good job going through and understanding each individual aspect of the paperwork we would have to do. I did get that feeling that all this work will get very tedious once starting but from what past students have said, the experience is very rewarding so all this work will be worth it. We also learnt about temperament and what each temperament group was like. There were 4 colours; Gold, Orange, Blue and Green. I was Green, one of the very few that were this colour. It was fun finding out what temperament I was and it was fun learning about other people’s temperaments, especially the teachers. We watched the movie Pay It Forward after looking through the paperwork and temperaments. The movie went through most of periods 3 and 4 and went through all of periods 5 and 6. The movie was very enjoyable and was a very sad movie to watch but a very inspirational movie nonetheless. The main character Trevor was a very inspirational figure despite being a 11 year old kid. Watching his journey and the other character’s journey through the movie was very moving and the ending was a very sad point of the movie and showed human empathy at its best. It was fun watching the movie as it took up most of the day and used up time and it was nice change in pace in learning. Ms. Williams and Ms. Elmer were great today and they were very enjoyable today, adding to the fun of the day. At the end of the day, the teachers gave us homework, ending the seemingly fun day to a close. The homework was filling out this blog I am writing now and watching a T.V Show called ‘The Project’. We had to watch an aspect of the program that talked about acts of kindness and had to explain about it in this blog. I’ll explain it now. The video talked about a program called the ‘1 Million Acts of Kindness’. It is a program on a website you register to and you go help other people, help the environment or help out in the community. There are several people that said what act of kindness was brought upon them, including tickets to hot air balloon rides and Variety was there handing out bags of food to children. It also talked about how an act of kindness makes you happy and healthier in life. It was an interesting video to watch as you saw various people giving out acts of kindness and the different tasks the website suggests you do as an act of kindness such as giving someone a hug. It was a good video to watch after watching the movie Play It Forward and both had similar themes in acting out a kindness to another. The homework wasn’t a hard task and was a suitable task to do considering the movie we watched today. Overall, the day was a great school day. = = = 15/05/12 =

15/5/12 Stephanie.
Today during DEAL we had the opportunity to work together as a group properly. We started rotating through different activities that were to do with teamwork, communication and co-operation. The first activity that we attended was run by Ms Williams. This activity was asking us to order from least important to most important what we would need if we were stranded on the moon. Our group worked extremely well together and we didn’t have any arguments among us. The next activity was run by Ms Saunders and we were given the task to build a house of cards. Again we worked well as a team and co-operated well together even though our card house fell down a couple of times that didn’t stop us from working together. After we completed these activities we were told to hold a team meeting between us. The agenda was given to us all through edmodo and we had time to discuss our temperament colours and then onto some questions for our voice audition. What we had to do was go up to the teachers and explain to them what our group wanted to do and what we were about. We ended up with Ms Commadeur as our mentor which i’m really happy with. It was soon time to go home so for the rest of the class time we continued out meeting and started to discuss the places we wanted to help out with.

15/05/12 Joshua Napolitano
In DEAL we got into our groups and had our first meeting. We talked about what our group meant and what colours our members are. We than talked about what each colour meant and what the positives are and what the disadvantages are. Once we finished that part we than went onto organising what we were going to say to the teachers for our presentation. This presentation was allot like the voice and we had to go up the teachers and say a little presentation about what our group is and what our group is about, we also showed them our logo and motto and told them what it meant. After we explained our group the teachers equsted for us and we had to chose which teacher we wanted, we ended up picking ms Commardeur. After we finished the presentation we went back to our seats and talked finished off our meeting.

15/5/12 Brailee Binios
Today in deal in our out reach groups we worked really hard in our groups. We put a lot of time and effort into what we were going to say to the teachers so we can make them want us and we can pick our mentor’s, it was a bit like the t.v show the voice just nothing got to do with singing. To impress the teachers we had to tell them really interesting facts on what we are trying to achieve. Our first good move according to mrs saunders was that we put a picture that represents us on the back of our notes so when we were reading we are also advertising as well! This was a really good idea! Before we even started reading mrs saunders loved ours! but in the end we had chosen miss commadeur because shes very understanding when we need help and she comes out with the most out rages idea’s and thoughts and that will get us really far in to what we have to do to help little kids and elderly people.

15/05/12 Jacqui Ross
Today during DEAL it was our first real taste of working together as a group. We did a number of activities that involved us working as a team to achieve something. As a team we had to co-operate, communicate and be persistent and patient. We started with Ms.Williams and the activity was numbering objects in order according to their importance if we where stuck on the moon. This activity required us to think and respect others idea's and opinions. Next we moved over to Ms.Saunders, the activity was building a house of cards. We worked really well as a team and we had a number of different ways we could complete this task. Even though the card house kept falling down, we still worked well together to get it done. After we finished the activity rotations we where instructed to have a team meeting. The agenda was already set for us so all we had to do was follow it. Josh had the role of the chair and Tim had the role of the minutes. We discussed our temperament colours and how having different temperaments would effect out work as a team. We the moved onto question we had to discuss for our voice audtion. This was a 2 minute speech we had to make as a group in order to find out who our mentor is. We discussed what we where going to say and who we would choose as a mentor if they turned around. After our actual audition we ended up with Ms.Commadeur as our mentor! I was very happy with this outcome and am looking forward to working with Ms.Commadeur! Once we did our voice audition we had to the go and find organisations that we could help out. We also had other tasks we had to get done but didn't have time so they will be our outreach homework for this week.

15/05/12 Timothy Ong
Today in Deal we were all gathered in our own outreach groups for team building. We were all split up into 3 clusters with our groups and did activities that required us to act together as a group. The first activity we went through required us to list down on a paper what were the most important things to have on the moon. None of us fought or talked over the other and we all worked diligently. The next task required us to make a ‘house of cards’ which required us to use every card in the deck (52 cards). Lucky for us I have previously dealt with sort of thing and used a method of making house’s with cards and it requires more than 4 people so this was a great way for everyone to participate. Many times over and over again the cards fell over, but we never gave up and everyone in the group participated. However since it was lunchtime we couldn’t complete the final task where we all hold hands and try to ‘un-jumble’ ourselves with other groups this would’ve been a true test of trust and perseverance. After lunchtime we were sorted into our mentor groups. Making the speeches was quite difficult as we didn’t know what we could use as our motto. When we heard about the Voice judging we were so excited and we instantly wanted either Mr.Jilbert, Ms.Williams as our mentor. We all eventually found out what were our strengths, weaknesses and our roles int he group. Temperaments in the group leaned to the side of Blue, knowing this we knew how to respond to one another. As it was our turn to step up and present our words of persuasion to try get an “I WANT YOU” from the teachers, Mrs.Saunders just pressed it before we started talking as she liked our Logo. However both Ms.Williams and Mr.Jilbert were gone and taken when we had arrived so that was a downside as we wanted the organization of Mr.Jilbert and the fun of Ms.Williams. In the end we wanted Ms.Elmer as she appealed to all of us but unfortunately she didn’t want us so that was quite upsetting. Everyone but her did though so that was an upside. In the end we decided to do a vote and everything led up to choosing Ms.Commadeur as our mentor for Outreach 2012. Then the day ended with us reviewing our agenda we did in period 4 thus ending class and going home.

15/05/12 Andrew Rueda
Today, we went through tutorials on team building during period 2. These included activities such as ranking the most important items for survival on the Moon and a card house building activity. At first, I didn’t understand why we did these activities but as they further elaborated, I understood that it was building teamwork skills. In period 4, we began a meeting with the agenda on various things about our group. The agenda was on Edmodo and Josh was the chairperson, Tim was the minute taker and the rest of my group were just discussing about the various things outlined in the agenda. I was lost at first trying to get to understand how the meeting was run but we did pretty well and got through most of the agenda by the time lunchtime began. After lunchtime was over, we did these auditions on who was mentoring who. In this time period, groups were called up and took part in auditions much like in the TV show ‘The Voice” in that the judges decide whether they want you or not as their group. We spent most of our time getting our speech ready. It was nerve racking at first but it got quite fun during our time up at the judges panel. After our part was over, we had to decide on our mentor as Ms. Saunders, Ms. Commadeur and Ms. Constantino wanted us. After some considerations, we decided Ms. Commadeur. It was a relief after the auditions were over and then we got back to work on our directive. The day was nearly over and I felt rather pleased with our progress today. We did go through quite a bit and we had a set plan and idea on what we were going to do. All in all, it was a good day.

= 29/05/12 = Today during Deal our group worked really well together throughout the whole day. We all realised that we can work well together if we try even though we are all different. The first two periods were meant for us to work on our blogs and the blog page. Jackie and I spent quite a long time searching glittery texts on google sites and trying to make our blog page look good. Once we were satisfied with it and liked what we put up we moved on from that. During periods 3 and 4 we all looked at different organisations so we would have back-up groups incase the organisation we wanted to work with didn’t agree. For the rest of the day we were asked to make a poster and complete our agenda for the next week. Tim mainly worked on the poster with us suggesting ideas and things and the rest of us worked on the agenda. Today we got a massive amount of work done, it was a really productive day! The more we get to know each other better, the easier it makes it because we know each others strengths and weaknesses, who does and doesn't work well and what we are all good at. We started with editing and updating our blog. We were mostly catching up with our blogs and playing around with different styles, looks and themes that we could use to make our page more appealing. Steph and I spent a lot of time looking at different animations and sparkling text to put on our page but it was worth the time because our page looks really good now. Periods 3 and 4 we held a meeting and we spent time looking for lots of organisations so we have a better selection of places we can help. In the last 2 periods of the day we had to create a poster and organise next weeks agenda. Tim took charge of the poster with the rest of us focussing on the agenda although it was mainly Andrew with the help of Brailee, Josh, Steph and I. The agenda is well sorted and the poster looked really good! Today we also tested out Skype as a tool for communication. We used it to communicate with each other and our mentor (Ms Commaudeur). It took us a while to get concentrated and use to using it professionally but we got there in the end. Today was so fun that most of it didn't even feel like work! Although we joked around and got a little bit off track we still worked well together to get all the work done. If we keep working like we did today I can only imagine what we can accomplish throughout the year!

Today was one of those rare days in this year’s Year 9’s where everyone worked so well together. The amount of work we did was so tremendous that it didn’t feel like work at all. We started off and continued the whole day working in our groups and was really one of the best opportunities of the whole year so far in terms of DEAL. We got to know our group much better and how we would work as a team and I found that we did work well together despite our differences. The first thing we did today was edit our group blog pages for the first 2 periods. We spent the whole time either writing out our blogs or editing the group page to the look we all wanted to see. In periods 3 and 4, we held a formal meeting with the agenda of what organisations we had found. We got through the agenda with ease and had fun with my other team members finding some organisations. The day did not feel like work at all! Also during period 3 and 4, we tested out Skype within our group and our group mentor, Ms. Commadeur. We used it to the most professional way integrating well with our Google Doc. It did take a while for everyone to get used to using Skype professionally but we got there in the end. In the last 2 periods 5 and 6, we had to design a poster and come up with next week’s agenda. Tim handled the poster with the other team members and I handled the agenda next week. The poster, once it was finished look excellent and the agenda for next week was well sorted (because I handled it of course!) Once the day ended, I realised that we worked well together as a team, we got through a lot of work and that the day went to quickly. The day was too much fun that the saying “time flies when you are having too much fun” really does apply for today.

= 5/06/12 = Today during Deal nothing much actually happened. Our mentor was away so we couldn’t ask for much help with what we were doing. We followed our agenda and completed a series of questions and are in the process of making our mock emails and phone calls. In the end we decided we wanted to work with St Vinnies with just some volunteering work. We could have completed more work this lesson but it was just not possible. We were all assigned to make mock emails for our next lesson the following week. Skype has also been a huge help for us but we do need to actually use it properly to interact with our group. During DEAL today we wrote our draft letters to our organization foundation that we want to volunteer to help out with, It took us a lot of time and effort to get the email perfect! I had to re-write my email 3 times till it looked professional and was ready to be sent. In the email we had to write about how much we have in common with the organization foundation and what we can do to help them, we had to make the email sound professional so the organization foundation would accept us.

Today was not an overly productive day but there was work done. We narrowed down what organisations we can and can't contact and what organisations out of those would be the best to go and help out. We followed our agenda really well and got most things done that we needed to. There was a couple of times where we got off track due to Ms. Commadeur being away so we didn't have a mentor to keep us on track. Once we got back on track we worked really well at getting what we needed done and communicating and working together as a group. We are getting better and better at using Skype to communicate but it can still be distracting if we start having our own private conversations which needs to stop. Today was a very stressful day. Our agenda’s last week were pretty simple and I expected more to come out of this session but unfortunately our mentor was absent. I had many questions on whether this community needed help or not, are we allowed to react out to these people; etc. In the end Mr.Jilbert helped us with our project by telling me that this community doesn’t need help as they were too ‘posh’ and he alerted us that other groups were doing so and so activities. Not much was completed during our meeting as some of our members didn’t understand what the questions in the agenda meant and were busy doing other things. Fortunately we have numbered down all of our organizations and we are in the process of creating our mock emails and phone calls. Many things were decided as to how we are going to get to these places and we are now currently trying to figure out how to help these people. In the end we have ended up going to St.Vinnies for just some simple volunteering work. Everybody can make a change by doing their own part. I think that by next lesson everything should be up and ready as I have set each of our members the task of creating mock emails and phone calls for the organizations we have chosen. Overall this session was very dull and hardly anything was completed, more things could have been implemented but the distractions and the absent of our teacher caused much stress, anxiety and pressure to build up.

/5/06/12 Andrew Rueda
Today was pretty much the same as last week, just not as action packed. We covered organisations we could work with and narrowed it down to areas quite close from here. We covered our agenda pretty well today and have done the necessary work for it. I still felt we could have done more but I am aware we are not fully prepared for contacting these organisations. This day was alright but not fully like one of those days like last week. I felt we did not do as much as work as we did last week and that we were missing something. I guess thats how its going to be for the next few sessions. The work we did was still great but not spectacular as it was last week. On a positive note, we finally managed to use Skype efficiently for our work! It really helped us get through the agenda I had set up well and ready for our next agenda.

= 12/06/12 = Our DEAL lesson today wasn’t that productive. We ended up finishing our mock emails and coming up with one together to send next lesson. Everyone was exhausted from exams so not much work was occurring with all groups and we were all becoming very distracted by each other. Some work was completed though, so it wasn’t a waste of a lesson. 12/06/12 Jacqui Ross Today we had DEAL after exams so we were all tired and wanted to relax but we still had to get work done so we worked on our draft emails to send to our chosen organisation. Because we haven't chosen a definite organisation yet we made two different emails for two possible organisations. We had Ms. Commadeur check over our draft emails and help us make them better and sound more professional. Today in class we had accomplished what we couldn’t from the past lesson. Our mock email is now ready and our contacts now must be checked over my our mentor and we must wait for our organization to contact us back. Mostly recreation has occurred in this class. From now on smooth sailing all the way through, thanks to our mentor. Today, we didn’t really do much considering the most of the day was dedicated to exams. We did however manage to complete our Mock Email in the last 2 periods of the day. We also checked up with Ms. Commadeur with the email and the details of our group. We should be fine for today so that we can fully work next OutReach session.

= 21/06/12 = Today in DEAL our mentor approved of our email to be sent to the community we would like to work with. We ended up sending an email to Saint Vincent De Paul and hopefully we’ll get to hear from them in time. At first St Vinnies was our back up plan but now we’ve changed our minds to put it as our first choice along with the Pink Ribbon foundation as our back up. With both of these organisations we just want to raise awareness to them, making posters selling merchandise maybe all those sorts of things. During this lesson we also managed to make up another email to send to the Pink Ribbon Foundation on breast cancer. Surprisingly we all agreed we wanted to work with them if they replied back. Today in DEAL we had to look over what we have done in the past few weeks, we had to make sure if everything was perfect so we could send it off to the organization we want to help with.

Today we finished of our final mock email and after getting it approved by Ms Commaudeur we sent it into St. Vinnies. We also sent an email to the National Breast Cancer foundation. I think it would be really good to volunteer at any of these organisations but I think St. Vinnies relates more so to what sort of organisation we were originally going for. Also I think if we go with St. Vinnies there is a lot more ways that we could help. In saying that I still would be more than happy to work with the National Breast Cancer Foundation if we got a reply from them. So all we can do is wait for a reply and hopefully we get on of them soon. Today in Outreach we had finally sent out all of our emails. The lesson began with us meeting up and finished up the emails many changes were made mostly about formal issues. The email was approved by our mentor and everything was very easy going from then on. The organization and foundation we decided to choose was the St.Vincent de Paul society along with the Pink Ribbon Day foundation. Originally the St.Vinnies society was our back up and now it is our main objective that we would like to complete and also do a wonderful job with. The Pink Ribbon Foundation was our safety net. It was a last minute decision to save us just in case our St.Vinnies email failed. Things we would like to accomplish for the Pink Ribbon foundation is to raise awareness in the community about Breast Cancer and about the actually Pink Ribbon Day in October. If we are successful we may be able to do both, volunteer work along with the raising of awareness in our school and possibly suburb community. Raising awareness can include posters, fundraising with items they may give us and some banners and events just for the sake of breast cancer. We hopefully will get feedback from our organizations and maybe we will be accepted and start working by Term 3 DEAL days. We had finally agreed upon our aim but our outcome is still unknown as we don’t know what we really want to happen. Our aim is: To reach out to the less fortunate members of the community. Especially the younger and elderly people who require our assistance. Hopefully we will be accepted this will help us, them and our aim so that we may finally reach out to the world bit by bit. Today in OutReach, we finally finalised the mock email and sent it through to St. Vinnies. Ms. Commadeur approved of our email after many failed attempts at the email involving the use of formal language and email layout. We also managed to complete another email to send to the National Breast Cancer Foundation today and sent it through. I am fairly confident in our group that we could land ourselves a volunteering spot in one of these organisations. Our backup organisation, the National Breast Cancer Foundation, is something we all believe to be a place where we can fully express our aim of helping people so we chose it for this reason. I am looking forward to the prospect of working for one of these organisations to fulfill our OutReach mission. Lets hope next week brings this good news.

= 26/06/12 = Today during Deal we all worked very well together and we ended up getting a lot completed. We hadn’t heard back from either of the organisations yet but we didn’t mind because we had a mentor swap so we were all for hearing other ideas, ones we hadn’t thought of and thinking of different things. Ms Elmer came over to discuss with us where we were up to and what we’ve completed and our plans. She suggested we broaden out the organisation and just cover cancer in general because it didn’t really appeal to the boys and not most of them would be interested. We all thought again about what we wanted to do and thought about the idea of just cancer in general. Our group made a phone call later on to the Cancer Council to ask if we could promote their organisation and raise awareness while Andrew organised plans with the National Breast Cancer foundation. In DEAL today we had to make the video of what we have done and explaining to all what our group is aiming to do, afterwards that our group got very slack and lazy and we were just sitting around until we got told to pull our heads in and work much more harder, Then we started researching more and more reading over notes etc while Tim fixed up the video so the sound was perfect, After lunch we came in and we were told that we have to start ringing organization groups and start planning out what we are going to do with them, We started filling out a form for the breast cancer foundation and it was asking us to write down our details and so on then miss elmer came and spoke to us randomly and was telling us if it was really necessary to choose breast cancer and she was explaining to us if we could do all of the cancer foundation researches, we went on the cancer council and we were looking at all the types of things they were looking for and how we can help out, We were going to call them and tell them how hard we have worked and hopefully they would accept us but we never got the chance to call because other groups were in there. Writing this blog we were pulled out and we went into the office and called the cancer council and we were telling them if we can help them raise money etc and we got through! we have to send our funds now and they are willing to help us now! we just have to organize together as a group what we have to do as an event that will raise money. Today we had to make a video of who we are, what we are aiming to do and what we have done so far. We were very slack today, I just don't think that everyone was concentrated very well. We got a reply from the National Breast Cancer Foundation so we were filling out application forms to and help that particular organisation. After having a speak to Ms Elmer about how things are going with our group we figured out it would be a bit hard to do something to do with the National Breast Cancer Foundation because it doesn't really concern the male members of our group so we were told that we needed to do something that the whole group could really relate to. We decided as a group we would still want to work with an organisation that had to do with cancer because a few of us in the group have experienced loved once suffer from cancer so it is an issue that is close to our heart. We decided to do the Cancer Council because it covers all types of cancer and is quite a big organisation. We quickly made plans about helping the Cancer Council and went and made a call to them enquiring about how we could help. They told us that we could raise money for them and raise awareness. Hopefully we will be successful with the Cancer Council. Today we had been able to take a different view on things. Skype conversations and our minutes turned out to be very confusing and we ended up just using our voices. We had wanted to work with the National breast cancer foundation however in the mentor swap in 5 & 6 we realized that it would be very hard as we have male members that can’t participate in it. Ms. Elmer asked if we wanted to work with other foundations that would widen and also increase the school’s awareness not only in one type but the cancer in general. We made a few phone calls, changed our company and in time we hope that they would be willing to help us in our Outreach program. Today, we underwent through a lot of changes in our group. At first, we were determined to work with the National Breast Cancer Foundation and set up a school and community event. Then we had the Mentor swap during periods 5&6 and Ms Elmer suggested we broaden our spectrum on the cancer foundations we could work with since Breast Cancer doesn’t really concern Tim, Josh and I as much as it would to the female members of our group. Ms Elmer suggested we would work with the Cancer Council and we did, along with the National Breast Cancer Foundation. Tim and the rest of the group made a phone call whilst I organised our plans with the National Breast Cancer Foundation. The day did start quite rocky but in the end, I think we achieved what we wanted to achieve, from the video to the organisations we had contacted with.

= 31/07/12 = Todays DEAL lesson was very constructive and we ended up getting quite a bit of work completed. We were given some pretty sad news by our teachers. The deal with going out to the places we wanted to were now pretty slim because the government changed the laws where our teachers had to actually go out in their own time to have a look at the destination to see if it was safe or not. This didn’t really disappoint us or effect us in any way because our group has decided to hold a fundraiser at school anyway. Now because of this the year 9 team have decided to hold a sort of carnival later on in the month where all the outreach groups will be advertising their chosen organisations and raising money in their own ways. We decided to stick with the Cancer Council and promote cancer in general. Today in deal we were told that we were not allowed to go on our mini excursion to do what we had to do, collect money for the cancer council etc It didn’t effect us that much because we called the cancer council and told them about what happened due to the government making it illegal that students are not allowed to go on excursion’s by them selves with out a parent or teacher’s guide. Due to having so many year nine’s non of the teachers could volunteer to do so, So our plan was we called up the cancer council telling them everything and we made an agreement with them getting merchandise of them and selling them on the day of our fare and the money we make will go to the cancer council. I personally think that we have done very well because we have always had back up plans and i think we’ll do extremely well in our out reach. 31/07/12 Jacqueline Ross Today was a really productive day despite that fact that we were given some shocking news that none of the groups would be able to go out on an outreach excursion because of the new laws the government has put into place. This didn't really effect our group because we weren't planing on going anywhere anyway. We were told that we would be having an Outreach expo day which actually excited us and we thought it was a really good idea! So basically what the outreach expo involves is each group having their own stall and raising awareness or money for their organisation. We had to brainstorm ways that we could make our stall stand out above others and how would be a successful way of raising awareness/money. I think this was one of the best days we have had so far but mainly because we worked really well as a team and respected each others opinions and ideas. I am looking forward to organising this stall and making it come to life! Today was quite informative and in general well done. We received sad news (for other groups) that we could not go out to the public for Outreach. This ruined many people's plans and they had to call up, email and notify their companies of this. LUCKILY! This didn't involve us in our group, however we had little problems of our own. An Outreach Expo or festival day would replace the outreach excursions. On the day each group had to create a stall somewhere in the entire school so that they could raise awareness and bring people and attraction to their stalls. This would benefit the group in grades and the charity or group in their raising of awareness. This was quite perfect for us as we had previously thought of a Cancer Awareness day where people would wear the t-shirt of their own color to represent the cancer they support (Pink=Breast Cancer). The only issue was trying to find activities that we could possibly imply into our own stall. In Andrews blog are shown all of the ideas we though of however in the end we just decided to do Josh's crossbar challenge idea and also my idea of ring toss. The stress levels in the group were very low and happiness was quite high! Prizes were decided when we saw Cancer Council's products. We called them up and with success we had been able to indeed get our order in. Thank the lord for telephones~! Also all social networks where we have been messaging the group on. Today was a day well spent. We received shocking news (that didn’t really affect us that much) and that was that we could not go to a place to do our Outreach excursion. Instead, an Outreach Festival Day had been proposed so that we could still do our Outreach. On the day, each group would have their own stall where they raise awareness of the charity they are supporting by doing something that can benefit the charity. This came as a kind of relief as this was somewhat similar to our idea of a Cancer Awareness Day so all we had to do was translate that to our stall. The Cancer Council is still our proposed charity so we came up with several ideas for what we were going to do for our stall. We came up with the idea of selling cupcakes, a “pay to plant” a daffodil, and novelty games to raise funds for the Cancer Council, with selling merchandise for the Cancer Council as a backup. We initially planned to do all three activities but then we had realised that it was too much to handle for the day so we stuck with the ideas of paying to plant a daffodil, selling merchandise and the novelty games. In case we couldn’t find a way to acquire daffodils, we would sell Cancer Council merchandise instead. For the novelty games, we chose three. A ‘Cuponk’ style game where you have to throw the ping pong ball in the cup, Ring Toss which is self explanatory and a “Cross Bar Challenge” that Josh proposed. In the challenge, you have to try to hit the crossbar of the soccer goal by either throwing a gridiron ball at it or kicking a soccer ball at it. People who could hit the crossbar receives prizes. The prizes were something such as teddy bears that people would donate and lolly bags with lollies bought from a store with everyone contributing to the cost. Today felt like a day well spent and I owe it all to the rest of the group who have put such an effort to today.

= 7/08/12 = Today’s lesson was really difficult and challenging because only four of us were at school. Tim and Jacqui both had production rehearsals and they were kind of the leaders of our group. We managed to figure out some things for us to complete. The four of us were in room 20 and throughout the day I think managed to accomplish quite a bit. We drew up our plans for our posters and designed them all very well. We talked about the placement of our stall and who was going to do what and be in charge of what. Today in deal we had two of our team mates out for the production so it was just the four of us, we decided to start creating posters for our fare that our year level will be doing to raise money for their foundation’s since we are not allowed to go on our mini excursion to what we want to achieve. Today I was absent due to commitments I have made to the production, although I was informed about what the rest of the group did and where we are up to in our progress. Today I was absent due to production rehearsals at CRC Sydenham. Today was an alright day to say the least. Tim and Jacqui were off doing production rehearsals so we had to work without their vision. We worked fairly well today but without the leadership of our leader who had our main vision, it was a bit hard trying to figure out the vision and what he had wanted the group to achieve. We did agree to ditch the idea of planting daffodil seeds as we could not find any and appeared too expensive to gain a profit. For today, we set out basic designs for the posters for our stall. I hope Tim and Jacqui approve. We also sorted out the arrangement of our stall in the area we had. We planned to use the wall where the toilets where as the place for the “Cross Bar Challenge” Josh proposed. The rest of the stall will be placed near the cross. We also determined the pricing for the novelty games and the merchandise. We spent quite a bit of time figuring out a reasonable price but in the end, we decided that we could change the prices on the day if they see fit. We also set each team member’s roles for each of the stalls. I had to arrange jobs for Tim and Jacqui as they were away but I think they wouldn’t mind. My job is to arrange the “Cuponk” game we will set up. Lastly, I attempted to create a paper daffodil for our stalls. It did not work out so well. Oh well, I guess I’ll have to ask Tim about it.

= 14/08/12 = Today in DEAL all the year 9’s were invited to a special summit held in the hall. This went for about 2 hours. There were several different guest speakers here to talk to us about different things all relating to the same topic. Some of the guest speakers include Les twentyman, a football player, and an ex cop. All of the speakers talked about past experiences and some things that they’ve been told. They spoke about the importance of staying at school and how important education really is in order to pursue your dreams. Most of the speeches were related to things that were occurring in everyday life and we could all relate and picture it. I found the football player more interesting because he was younger and we could relate to what he was talking about. He spoke about how many challenges he faced leading up to his football career and how he had to sacrifice going out with friends and getting drunk to staying in and focusing on his career. All the speeches were interesting, even the ones we couldn’t hear properly or the ones that did bore us a little. After lunch we continued with our outreach groups. We’ve been getting quite a bit of work done in our groups and I’m impressed with where we’re all at. Today in out reach we had heaps of people come into the school and tell us about their past experience’s with helping the society out and helping them lead into a better life. They were telling us that if we had more youth groups in victoria we wouldn’t have to have more prison’s in the state and we would have less criminals in our city because if people had problems there would always be Youth Groups Today we were lucky enough to be part of the 20th man fund summit. This involved Les Twentymen and a number other speakers who talked about youth workers and how they guide the troubled youth of today. They talked about the importance of education and staying in school. What the speakers talked about varied from personal experiences and knowledge about the subject. Some of the things the speakers talked about were very confronting and really opened our eyes to some of the things happening around Melbourne. It was a really long and there was a lot of speaking but I think it was really worth it because of the importance of what they were speaking about. Today in DEAL we had a special opportunity to interact with Les Twentyman of the Twentieth Man Fund. The speeches were about youth violence and the importance of education and staying in school. There were many speakers that were involved in the production of the summit, each of these people were either involved, experienced or have been previously active with youth violence. Policemen, sportspeople, people from the fund., and other people involved with youth. Today, a summit regarding youth violence and the importance of stopping it and focusing on your education was held. Les Twentymen and supporting guests told different stories that had a general underlying message of continuing with your education in life. Continuing with your education is integral to your life as it provides you with the chance to make your own choices and the chance to even have choices. I got that message from all the different stories and I feel that I am grateful for the opportunities I have. The people at the 20th Man Fund work with adolescents that don’t have this opportunity and try to help them to the best of their ability. I appreciate what they have done so far and what I have learned from the summit today.

= 21/08/12 = 21/8/12 ** Stephanie Larosa ** Today’s lesson was pretty much us just going over what we’ve already organised and thought about doing and adding in anything that we thought extra. Mr Jilbert also introduced us to some paper work and our assessment task for this term and until the end of the fate. The assessment task must be completed by the whole group and isn’t just something individual. We talked about what we would do for this, the evidence and how we would go about it. We worked well together but could have achieved a little more. Today in outreach we had to legit start everything, josh and i had to write down 20 facts about cancer and research more stuff about it, so then we know what to say to other students that need to know what we are doing. We were going to start our posters but we didn’t get started on that because we were too busy doing all of our research. Jackie called up the cancer council again because we didn’t get out merchandise delivered to our school, While Jackie was on the phone to them they had told her that the order for the merchandise didn’t go through, and that was a real stuff up for us! we also started talking and designing what out little stand at the fare will look like etc and that’s all that we got up to today pretty much. First thing today, as a year 9 group we discussed what was required for the second part of our assessment, the evidence part. We were given the rubric and the evidence guide. We were given the advice that we start as soon as we can because we would still have to organise our stall. Today Tim was very good at delegating jobs to everyone so Andrew was responsible for gathering evidence while Tim updated our agenda and google docs page. The rest of us focussed on everything to do with our stall. We had to modify some of the activities that are at our stall because of issues like space and time but it wasn't all bad. This was pretty much what happened all day, we worked hard but I think we could have been a little more productive. Today we had an extensive discussion on the requirements of our assessment on the Outreach program. We looked through the rubric and evidence guide to see if we had all the necessary documentation for our assessment. It was best to start now as we have the Festival day in about 4 weeks time and still need that to get prepared. I handled finding all the documents for our evidence whilst the other team members did work either regarding our stall for the Festival or finding or creating the necessary documentation for our evidence. That was basically what the whole day was revolved on; getting evidence for the assessment. At first I was lost as to what documents we had that included the necessary criteria for the rubrics but now I see what we have and the work we have to do to achieve at standard on the rubric. For the stall ideas, we have removed the cuponk novelty game from the game selection as it is too much to handle for the day so we will stick to Josh’s crossbar challenge and the ring toss game Tim proposed. Tim reassigned our team members on the jobs they had to do for the day. I guess he did not like my proposition. I think we need to work harder next week despite that fact that we did work pretty hard today. We finally have a determined goal for our stall so now all we need is to fully realise that idea to life in the next 4 weeks.

= 28/08/12 = 28/8/12 ** Stephanie Larosa ** Today has actually been so stressful. Our group is confused with what we’re doing and we also found out that the merchandise isn’t going to come in time for our festival. We were told to start thinking about how we’re going to advertise our organisation, we just chose to make some small posters and put them up around the school with our logo on them. We kind of just went insane and put the posters everywhere around the school, everywhere you look there’ll be a poster there, it’s good because then everyone will wonder what they’re for and what it’s about. Overall it was a fun day but there’s still lots more to do with the games for the festival. Today in deal we cut out our mini yellow posters with our logo etc on it and we put them every where around the school, i have a feeling that people will notice them because our group went a bit crazy on putting the posters every where, there’s pretty much posters on every wall, almost in you’re face kind of thing. But I think thats good that way people will notice it. We spent so much time cutting them out and putting blue tack on the back it pretty much took up our whole day. I think today was really good for us as a group! We were really disappointed because of the fact that we were unable to get the daffodil day merchandise that we ordered because that was a big part of what is happening at our stall but, as a group we worked through it. We discussed if the activities we had running would be enough for the day and if not, what other ideas we had to improve our stall. We decided that what we had would be enough but we had to make some moderations to some of those activities. Andrew and Tim designed a small poster that showed our group on it and the logo for daffodil day. There was some debate about the poster not having enough information on it or details about the day but we had the idea that we would make another poster to put up at a later date to tell people where our stall will be, what will be happening there and what our organisation is. We decided this would be a good advertising strategy because the first poster would just get people aware of our group and the other one that we will release later on will give the details and because we are releasing it closer to the date of the actual festival people would be less likely to forget the information. While Tim and Andrew were working on our evidence document and some ideas for our stall, Brailee, Josh, Steph and myself were putting the posters up around the school. Today I think was a good day over all but there is much more work to be done before the festival. Today we received shocking news for our group. Cancer council has told us that yes they have indeed found our order but they will not arrive in time. We are devastated as we cannot have our prizes and we must then therefore create new possible things to do. We have been and are currently in a situation which involves plenty of thinking. We have of course though of back up ideas and also we have mass produced our message scheme. Each week leading up to the Outreach festival we will put up something to make people wonder. So far our poster at this very moment is placed in the strangest of places, mostly the populated areas and places people need to go to. Next week we will post up the full activity list of what we have planned for our stall. We will want to be in hopes to find ‘cheap’ candy for our lolly bags. Our agenda today was quite deep and we hope that we will be able to keep this thing going. Luckily Cancer Council has given us permission to use their logo so we now won’t have a problem with the advertising part in our job. This is a huge let down however we must still be loyal to our company so that people will be aware that these things in the world are happening, life isn’t perfect. We will hope in the future to be able to not lay back while that happens. We will call one more time to see if the company want’s us to advertise in a specific way so that our stall can be boosted and that we will be able to indeed be in hopes of a successful day. We will strive to continue our job as Cancer Council volunteers. This day was indeed stressful and I will have to do my homework to help our stall. Today, our group did 3 different tasks for the day, each being documentation, OutReach stall preparation and publicity for our stall. We all contributed to each task in one way or another and I had helped Timothy with stall preparation, publicity and documentation. It was a pretty busy day to begin with as it is nearing the OutReach festival day so there was no room for laziness. We had hit a bump in our proposal for our stall as the Cancer Council did not send the merchandise we required as of yet and we had realised by asking teachers and the organisation itself that the goods will not arrive on time. This has set us back and has made the range of different tasks to do for the day even smaller. Since we cannot sell merchandise, there is no point in selling merchandise as it is now too late to go and get donations of old items and have a sufficient amount by the time the festival arrives. So, we will have to stick to the two games of Ring Toss and the Cross-Bar Challenge that Josh proposed. The prizes is also now even more limited without the Cancer Council merchandise so the lolly bags will have to make do. I hope this change of events will not halt our progress as we have already went past that by placing our publicity posters in every classroom of the school. Surely this should make our group more known, right?

= 04/09/12 = **4/9/12 Stephanie Larosa**

Today’s lesson was very focused and concentrated. We were in the tech room for most of the day because of another group wanting to use the materials in it. This gave us the opportunity to make our huge poster which Tim made. While he was doing that Josh, Brailee, Jackie, Andrew and myself were designing the new posters for our stall actually telling everyone what we’re doing and who we are. Today in outreach we put so much effort into what we were doing, we printed off hundreds of our posters and put the every where around the school, It took us a very long time to put blue tack on the back of them and cut them out and of course to put them on every corner of the school. **4 September 2012, Jacqueline Ross** Today we all focussed very much on preparing our stall for the outreach festival. As we are getting closer to the actual date we need to make sure the school is aware of our stall and what is happening(advertising) and making sure we have all the necessary things we need for our stall to be a success. All Ms Commadeur's groups were in the tech room so that gave us the opportunity to make anything we need for our stall like a poster, which, Tim did. Brailee, Steph, Andrew and I worked on making advertising posters to put up around the school as well as making posters for the actual day. Andrew and I made an advertising poster each while Steph and Brailee made posters to put up at our stall. Once we had finished we went and put them up around the school. I think we are organised but we still have a bit of a way to go until we are fully organised. Well, as we ever draw closer to the OutReach Festival, a work input increase and a better team effort is ever more likely needed. Fortunately, this happened today. We got a good input from the whole team despite having little work to do today. What we all did today was work on our posters and banners for both our stall and for publicity. I would like to say that it ran successfully and most of the day was spent just placing the posters around the school. The only thing that I did by myself was making sure we had the correct documentation and if it was up to date. We should be ready for the OutReach Festival that is in two weeks time but all we really need to do is get the ring toss ready. I sure hope we do get it ready in time.

= 11/09/12 = Today was a good day for our group! we organsied the rings and poles for ring toss as well as making the final touches on the posters and banners we are putting up at our stall. Tim was away for an hour or so recording for another group so while he was gone we caught up on unfinished or un-posted blogs and any other paper work we needed to do. There wasn't much really left to do because we had prepared really well last week. I found out that due to a very important singing competition I will not be able to attend next tuesday the day of the actual expo so that was disappointing but I know that my group will do really well and our group will be very successful! Today was the last day for preparation before the big day next week. I did not realise how quickly this term has passed and I am surprised at the sudden realisation of it. I am also aware of the amount of work that we have done throughout this term and am very proud of my team mates and myself. Since we were basically ready for next week, we did not need to do as much work today. All we basically did today was make sure our blogs were up to date, design new posters for our stall, create fliers for our stall to hand out on the day and create a prototype for the ring toss. I designed the posters and fliers so we should be prepared for next week. As for the ring toss, we hit a stumble as the original equipment we had got ‘accidentally’ thrown out so we had to do something else. We still had sticks for the rings and the rings themselves but have no bases so Timothy, Yasu and Stephanie made paper boxes. We later realised they would not be adequate for the day so Timothy will have to do something about it. The ring toss does work but is very difficult, something that may become problematic on the festival day. It should be fine as it makes it more worthwhile for people to get their prizes so I hope all goes well. Today in outreach we have at last finally completed all of our hard work. Previously we had been given the grief of not being able to receive the items from our charity organization due to the loss of our order. We now have seen past that and we will still be moving all of our funds to the Cancer Council Victoria branch. Today’s lesson was more of a check up lesson, since the bottles I had saved had been taken away, I now created a new fast way to make the “bottles” for the ring toss. I will of course make it far neater at home. I still need to collect funds for the candy that we will be giving to the people who wish to enter our stall which is a worry however we will get there! All we have left is to simply collect the large chalk for the cross-bar, challenge, money and thats it! Stress levels today were very shallow which is quite good! The only bad news was that one of our members will be gone for an event, however! This will not be a waste as her role as part of group can be replaced momentarily by our new Japanese student! Other outreach groups have also attained other members and will be blessed by their enthusiasm like our one. We will make this the best Outreach Festival ever.

= 18/09/12 = **Brailee Binios 18th of september 2012** Today in outreach WE FINALLY GOT TO THE OUTREACH FESTIVAL! we had so much fun drawing a big zombie on the wall and watching people have fun aiming at it with the nerf gun! we raised money and gave out lollies and in the end we all had a ball! i would definitely do it again! Today was the day!!! And it could not have gone any better (well maybe a bit but it still was a success)!!! The Outreach Festival went better than planned considering the stumbles we faced and in turn made it more of a success. The Cross Bar Challenge had a last minute change into a Nerf Gun Challenge as we could not get sports balls for the challenge. This in turn made the day better as we got more customers and we had more fun as a result. I would say the day ran pretty smoothly except the rain at the end which had ruined an otherwise perfect day and would love to do it all again. It was so fun running our stall and seeing the other group’s stalls and how they ran. Days like these occur rarely but are well worth the wait. I guess the only thing I really missed out today was the sausages and lunch in general as we were very busy in running the stall. In my opinion, this day was a good day to end DEAL for Term 3 and remains as one of the highlights of the year. Unfortunately I was absent on the day of the outreach festival so I wasn't able to see what a great day it was. I heard that it was a very successful day. At last the Outreach festival! It was indeed a very fun, enthusiastic and humorous day! We were able to use our posters that Andrew and I created using Comic life to our advantage! Strangely it was very useful to us as Andrew and I are not that comfortable using photoshop on any illustration tools. However the flyers we had were not very persuasive as the fonts and qriting was far too confusing. The area we chose was very low and hardly anybody came but we still were able to use our new found strategies to our advantage. It was just another one of our calculated risks. For example; the cross-bar challenge was a fail design so we turned it into a nerf shootout! Luckily our group is very flexible always having back up plans! This was an extreme risk as we didn't know whether or not it would sell and appeal to people. The ring toss was good! But not as good as we expected it to be. We wanted it to be the star of the show however the new game we made up with the nerf guns got us a bigger audience. At least people came saw and went. We were happily organized as our roster I created was indeed fair and we all agreed to the times when we were on and when we weren't. The downside was that Jacqui was not able to assist us on the day however we still were able to replace her with our exchange student. Overall a very fun and happy day for us!
