Excellence Care Values 7

At student council we met and changed some aspects of the Ice Cream Day. Mrs Trotter came in and questioned us about some aspects about the day that she didn't think would work like "what do we do with the leftovers?", "How many people will buy it?", "What happens if we give them too much choice?", "How much would they pay for the ice cream?", "What day will it be on?"
We all discussed all these questions and changed aspects accordingly. We ended up deciding on three flavours which were Double Chocolate, Boysenberry Ripple and Vanilla instead of the 8 we had before. The day we also decided on was Tuesday the 26th of September, which was on the last week of the term as it would be hotter than the rest of the term since it was closer to summer. We also decided on how we would see how much people would buy it by creating an order form, where all the students had to order their ice cream ahead of time and we asked the year 6's to create the order form. The leadership quality I showed was Trustworthy because they had to trust the year 7 and 8's that we would organize this event and the care value I showed was Active Thinking since we adjusted our plans to her suggestions.

Excellence Care Values 8

At student council we took our next steps to making our ice cream day happen. We learnt that the PTA (Parent Teacher Association) had planned a massive sausage sizzle on the exact same day so we had to decide whether or not we were gonna cancel, in the end we ended up postponing the ice cream day and moving it to a later date which has not been decided yet. We decided on buying the small individual tubs and we had to figure out if they included spoons, and after some emails, we figured out that there was indeed spoons included with the tub. We then looked at the prices and did calculations to find out how much money we would pay and how much we would gain from an estimate, these were our calculations and they are probably not correct: Prices If we bought 9 cartons of 125ml 24 pottles: For each flavor $1.14 per pottle excluding GST $1.31 per pottle including GST If we bought 648 pottles: For all flavors $849.56 including GST $738.72 excluding GST Profit $771.12 for $2.5...

On Friday in the middle block we usually have something where we do things, like there is a buddy programme and then there is a gardening programme, but the one I am in is Gamification, where you basically code and create a mini game. We started off at the start of the term using a programme called GameFroot, but it didn't really work well so instead we used scratch, which I found much easier. Mr Ladbrook now gives a series of challenges which we had to compete for and if we won we would win a prize. Last week we had to make a pong game and this week we had to make a platformer. Most people used Gamefroot for this but Jacob, Noah, Jak and I used scratch to try and do it. Mine had a landscape and clouds everywhere that moved side to side while they tried to get as high as you could. It half worked but the character could jump infinitely and it was very weird. The leadership quality I used was resilience because at the start I didn't really understand how the variables tab worked...
