Cantamaths Merit 3

By Anonymous
In Week 3 of Cantamaths We had another survey of 2008 Year 8 Questions, which were slightly hard than the Year 7 Questions. As same as always there were very hard questions but there were also very easy questions like "There are 560 students and 26 teachers at our school. We have 2 buses available, one carries 40 people and one carries 28 people. If the buses travel together in convoy, how many trips to the Town Hall will they need to make to get all students and teachers there?" (The answer is 9 by the way). There also was a hard one that asked you how many times the digit 2 appeared in a list from 1 to 300. The  leadership trait that I showed was Goal Focused because the question that asked how many times did digit 2 appear in a list from 1 to 300, I wrote a list of the numbers but I still got the question wrong.

Merit Student Leader 2

Student Leader This week for my role, we had a practice with our roles in leadership with the teacher. We did some public speaking exercises, we had one exercise where we all wrote a subject on a piece of paper and ended up having to talk about a random subject that was given to you for 30 seconds. It was very hard and the subject I ended up getting was "Tigers". Although it was very challenging I think I stuck through and stayed resilient and just did it for 30 seconds, (which was way shorter than it seemed). Another exercise was we all got the same poem and read it out aloud in groups of four to the other student leaders. The care value i think I was showing was Excellence because I stayed resilient and kept going even though Public Speaking isn't my strong point.

City Council Trip On Monday the 29th of May, the student leaders went on a bus to the CBD, where we went to visit the City Council Building to learn more about them and leadership. When we got there we took a little walk around the CBD, to make our way towards the Council Building. When we got there we got to have alittle break to take pictures while a member of the council staff got organized and ready to teach us. Once we got into a little classroom in the council building, we looked at a presentation about what the council does, eg; Taking out the trash, giving us fresh drinking water, doing building inspections, etc... and how the council is run. The council teams are split into different groups, most of them had just under 300 people working for them, while some of them had as little as 18. After that they had 6 council workers to take us to where they work and explain to us what they do and have us report back. My group had the Resource Consent workers who basically had to f...
