Our favourite motivation speaker of the day – Doctor Jordan Nguyen!
On Friday March 3, the school leaders attended the Halogen Conference. We had an early start to the day as we arrived at school at 7am. We were split up into 2 cars with Mr Prasad and Ms Taing. It was a wet and rainy drive to the City. When we were driving on the M4, we went past 3 car accidents which had caused some traffic congestions. It took approximately 1.5 hours to get there.
Once we arrived, we found our seats, settled in and enjoyed watching the hosts Gemma Knight and Scott Tweedie. They were entertaining and introduced us to inspiring leaders who have show acts of leadership.
As we listened to these amazing people explain what they had accomplished, we sat there and took notes and completed activities in these booklets they provided us with. There were 5 speakers talking but our personal favourite was Dr. Jordan Nguyen. He was funny, entertaining and had helped a lot people with a disability called Cerebral Palsy. We even got a photo with him!
Our favourite part of the day was when Scott dressed up as a turkey and Gemma played the saxophone!
Before we left to go on our long journey home, we accidentally left Adam F in the bathroom whilst we were in the elevator. Luckily we remembered and we were united again!
After we were split up, we grabbed McDonald's before we left. There was so much traffic and we didn't get back to school till 5pm. Overall, it was an amazing day and we were inspired. We are ready to be the best leaders possible for 2017!
