One skill that this class has helped me develop is shooting, mainly my arc and my footwork while shooting. This helps me during my games to have more consistency when shooting and be able to get my shot off faster. The main way the course helped me improve these things is a drill where we split into to groups and go to opposite sidelines and we pass to someone on the other sideline and then receive the ball back once you on the part of the court the coach wants us on and then we shoot from that spot. The way it help was because your coming to a start stop motion quickly and that helped me with my footwork. Another drill that helped me with my arc was form shooting we did this most Monday’s at the start of the year. I will continue to do these drills after the semester to help maintain and get better my footwork and arc of my shot. 

Across the semester we attended multiple courses, including an expert advice from specialists in certain fields. I found the strapping course the most helpful, I find this the most helpful because I think that no matter what sport you play you are going to come across injury’s and knowing how you can fix them and how to strap them is very important. Even though we didn’t go in depth about how to strap we still learnt the main injury’s you will come across as a sports person.

this assessment was to create a campaign about one of these four significant issues: speed, Alcohol, fatigue, and distractions while driving. You could choose to present your campaign through multiple submission ideas. I decided to go with an educational poster that could teach young drivers the importance of road safety

We had to make sure that our structure was

• is quick and easy to assemble
• has a minimum height of 60 cm
• has a maximum base of 30 cm x 30 cm
• has a flat platform on the top level of at least 5 cm x 5 cm
• remains standing after an earthquake, as simulated by shaking a table for 10 seconds
• is constructed from the materials supplied by our teacher
• costs less than $60 to build, given the material costs listed below.  This budget will be provided twice: once for the initial prototype, and once again for the second prototype.

Our model had to be attached to a bench mat with blue tack.

Materials

• spaghetti ($1 per 25 cm piece)
• 5 cm x 5 cm platform (free of charge)
• Blu Tack ($1 per gram)
• scissors or retractable craft knife
• ruler

Summary

This project was a very interesting and challenging project, in this project you had to make earthquake resistant building that is under $60 dollars which is to the requirements that the teachers gave us. We were asked to try and overcome earthquakes like real-life engineers must do to minimize the risk of an earthquake. We had to research ways to build this building that is cost-efficient while being a good quality build. There are things that I would like to change to the build if I could redo this in the future. This was a cool project because you got to see the challenges that engineers must go through on a daily basis.

 Overview of the engineering process

we had to almost change the whole build which was a struggle because it took more time to come up with the final design. We change the base of the building the reason for this is that triangles are much stronger and structurally sound than squares and can hold more up and take more of the force off the top of the structure. Something else we changed was the length of the spaghetti strips to 12cm instead of 25cm the reason for this is that it reduces the amount of stress that occurs around the parts where two or more pieces of spaghetti meet this is because the longer it is the more movement it has to move around.

In this unit, we covered snorkelling, orienteering and archery. At the start of the unit, we learnt about orienteering we learnt how to use a compass correctly. This meant learning how to put “Fred in the shed” and how to calculate the real distance between two spots on a map. Fred in the shed means that you should line the red part of the compass up with the north. We started this by learning all the safety things about a compass these include:

• Exercise regularly to keep yourself in good physical condition
• Drink plenty of water before, during and after the event to reduce the risk of dehydration
• Warm up thoroughly before orienteering
• Incorporate stretching before orienteering
• Wear appropriate shoes

And then we also had to learn about the general knowledge about a compass and how to use it these include:

• Pick up the compass and hold it flat in front of you
• Be sure that the direction of the travel arrow points straight ahead
• Rotate yourself, keeping an eye on the magnetic needle
• When the red end lines up exactly with the orienting arrow stop

After we learnt the basics, we did multiple runs around the school. We got given a map with numbers on it and then we had to use our compass and find the letters. Once we found the letter then we would have to write it down on another sheet. Then we would come back to class and see if we got the letters right. After we got out general skills with a compass down then we went to Manning Park and Piney Lakes for the new orienteering course they have there. It was the same as we did at school you would have to find different letters around the park. After all this, we did a one-day excursion to Jorgensen National Park. We did the same thing and had to try and find letters. This was the hardest one because you had to make sure that you understood all the safety and general knowledge about the compass.

During all the orienteering we did archery on Fridays. We started off by going 10m and then gradually got further and further away from the target the aim was to get as close to the middle as we can. To get good at archery we had to make sure we knew the technique which was breathed in and then when you shoot breathe out. We started off by shooting at the target and trying to get as close to the centre as possible. Once we understood the technique and got better at shooting, we put balloons on the target and the first person in your group to hit it won. After that, we started to count our scores in groups and the idea was to get the most out of our group this was only for term 3 and ended at the end of term 3.

At the start of term 4, we started snorkelling the first thing we did is learn about the general safety around and in the water. This included:

• Snorkelling is a buddy sport
• Never turn your back on the ocean. There could be a big wave coming at you
• Watch surf, current and surge on reefs/rocks
• Enter and exit from a sandy beach area
• Never swim against the current. Swim diagonally from it
• Avoid murky water for safety and enjoyment
• Duck dive under breaking waves to break their force
• Know the “Safe Snorkel” tips

Capabilities

Leadership by stepping up and taking charge when others didn’t want to, a collaboration by making sure that I got involved in class activities, and creativity by using natural tools to help my team outdoor ed help me improve my skills to make these capabilities better

All the camps

We went to Rottnest for one night or 2 days. I didn’t go on this camp, but I heard that it was a very fun and enjoyable camp

My personal information

Over the past semester, I have learned a number of things that have helped me improve my game. Mr. Haxby help me understand how to use my body to my advantage. This helped me get better at my post-game and guarding post players. He also helped me be able to beat players with one dribble instead of using a number of dribbles that would never take me anywhere. The way I got better is through using the things Mr. Haxby taught me and using them in games and also when we were playing 5v5. This class has helped me get more confident and overall improve. I would recommend this class to any basketball players who are wanting to improve and get more confident this can also help players who haven’t played to a high level.

My strengths and weaknesses

Weakness – staying in front of my player 

Weakness – 3-point shots

Weakness – sometimes my finishing isn’t the best

Strength – being able to dictate where my player goes

Strength – use my strength to get my player away from me

Strength – mid-range shot

Strength – spin move

Some videos

In the Gene Gibson case, there were times when the principles of justice were supported and times when they were compromised. This essay will highlight some of the principles of justice, these include all individuals are equal before the law, individuals having the right to an unbiased trial, the judiciary being independent and impartial, and individuals having the right to a reasonable appeal. This essay will follow these principles of justice and outline how they were compromised.

Mr. Gibson is an Aboriginal man who spent 5 years in prison after pleading guilty to the manslaughter of Joshua Warneke. The supreme court squashed Gene’s manslaughter conviction because he suffered from the fault of the Justice system in Western Australia. The reason for this is that he did not have the language skills or intelligence to understand the court’s legal system and what was going on during the trial. This case did not represent the principles of justice where everyone is equal before the law and an unbiased trial. These two principles weren’t followed to the standard that every single Australian should be given. Mr. Gibson was mistreated in the courts and throughout the trial because he was an Aboriginal man that couldn’t speak English to the required level. 

Mr. Gibson was convicted in 2014 to a 7 and half-year prison sentence after saying that he caused Mr. Warneke’s death. Josh Warneke’s body was found on the side of an old Broome Road in 2010. After leaving a nightclub in February, Warneke’s body was found with head injuries. Mr. Gibson, who speaks limited English, and his first language is the traditional desert language of Pintupi, argued that he did not understand the court process, or the instructions translated to him. In this investigation, they didn’t allow Mr. Gibson the right to silence. He said after this whole event was over, he felt the police weren’t on his side and that there were two witnesses that came forward, telling him that he was the killer and was better off admitting he did it, Gibson said that he felt the two women that came forward were paid by police to say that or are just lying in general. Gibson in this case didn’t go for bail mostly because a manslaughter case wouldn’t be cheap so Gibson didn’t want to pay the amount of money it would have taken to get out of jail. In this instance, they did give him the right to bail.

Gene Gibson was convicted in 2014 but the real crime happened in 2010. He was cleared of his 7-and-a-half-year sentence in 2017 spending 4.67 years in prison. He testified to court through an interpreter that “he did not kill Mr. Warneke and that police did not hear his story”. The court also heard he was advised to plead guilty after being told in his witness statement that if he did, the would the two guilty witnesses drop. In this case, there was some doubt that he wasn’t innocent, but the justice system didn’t follow the necessary precautions in breaking down that evidence and winning the case. In 2016, Mr. Gibson appealed, he sought an appeal to withdraw his guilty plea because he did not understand what he was doing. Warneke’s mother didn’t believe Mr. Gibson was guilty, and she sided with him. Gibson’s appeal was supported by expert witness evidence that due to his limited knowledge of English, coupled with his intellectual disability, he was unable to sensibly understand the consequences of his guilty plea. This case allowed Mr. Gibson to appeal his conviction. Warneke’s mother stated that she didn’t believe that he was guilty and that it was a new chapter in Mr. Gibson’s life. She said “The appeal process has highlighted numerous deficiencies and incompetence in how Aboriginal Legal Services managed Gene’s case” overall being supported. The right to an appeal is one of the biggest rights to have because without it people in the same situation could be serving life sentences all because of a miscarriage of justice.

In this case, you can see that there were a few times that the principles of justice weren’t followed, and there were others when they were. I think that in this case there were times where it should have been better, and the court should have seen that but others where did well going on the evidence they had. In this case, Gene Gibson had the right to an appeal and he did now know a few more rules about the Australian Legal System he knew what would be going on and what to do. Overall, this case was hard to learn and study not knowing what site to go off but when I was able to find the right one that told what really happened, I was able to follow that. Mr.

Gibson’s case was rear and hasn’t happened that many times where they have gotten to the point of being imprisoned.

My Self

My interests are basketball and hanging out with my friends I am a loyal friend that won’t tell people my friend’s secrets. I hate when people talk loud it isn’t very pleasant when you are trying to concentrate and they are nonstop talking, my skills are basketball I have made state and also WABL I am happy with where I stand with basketball and how much training I do.

My Learning

My favorite subject is sports because it is good to get out and do exercise and meet new people and do sports. I am studying all the subjects in this photo. I like to study because it makes me feel more confident about the test that is coming up I would like to get some better habits that have to do with studying. I like to learn by seeing things by seeing them not people telling me I find it harder to imagine to see. You can learn the sport without being inside a classroom. I have done English tutoring to help me better understand how to wright. I have learned never to give up early if something bad happens go on with it don’t let it ruin your life and be determined.

Certificate IV in Business (Perth Only) BSB40120

This qualification is suited to those working as administrators and project officers. In this role, individuals use well-developed skills and a broad knowledge base to apply solutions to a defined range of unpredictable problems and analyze information

My Future

I hope to become a Professional Basketball player. There are many ways you can get to the NBA you can go through college or other leagues like the European League or even Leagues in Israel this may sound like a stretch but a number of players playing in the NBA came through different pathways. Like Lamelo Ball and Joe Ingles, they both went through many leagues to get to the NBA and now are on massive contracts earning above 4 million dollars a year. This is a sports industry, and there is a thing called the NBA or the national basketball association. There are many teams in the NBA around 30 teams in the NBA. All of these players are freaks of nature and they are the best of the best but some players stand out, for example, Michael Jordan, Lebron James, Kareem Abdul-Jabar, and Kobe Bryant the best players ever to play in the NBA.

Kayaking

For this unit, we went to shelly foreshore every Wednesday for the double period. My goal for this unit was to get rid of my fear of the river and ocean this did not work I got a bit confident but not entirely. During this unit, we learned how to put on a squirt while out of the water and take it off underwater. We also learned how to use the different paddle motions and built up our long-distance stamina. We never really had a bad day some weeks we didn’t get to go out due to the teacher not being here but it was never due to the weather. There were so many jellyfish and the occasional black swan which was very cool to see that much wildlife in one spot

Rock climbing

This was one of my favorite units to do because it was so fun and I gained so many friendships. In this unit, we learned how to safely tie a rope, put a harness on, and put carabiners on us. During this unit the challenge was to get high as

you can this may seem easy but when you’re up there it’s much higher than you think and then you have to trust your life with one rope. As we kept doing this we got better and better and some people started to get all the way to the top which was amazing to see the improvement.

Bush Cooking

This unit we are still doing and it’s fun but very hard, you have to make sure that you have enough time but that you cook everything because sometimes the things we cook would come out too fast and wouldn’t taste as nice. The other hard part is the Leave No Trace rule this rule makes sure that we leave the space the same way we came and to make sure that none of the wildlife can make unsafe habits that can kill them. These habits can be when you feed the animals they can think that they can food from every human that comes and forget about finding food themselves. This unit has thought me how to be sustainable and keep the environment clean.

Nots and Ropes

This unit thought me how to tie a rope and how to use these ropes in activities not just giving us the skill and not telling us when to use it. This unit was very hard to learn but when you got it, it was nice to finally be able to do this correctly. During this course you could do the task but also have a chat with other people and that’s what made the course so much better than most because you can pass the test but also make some new friends.

At the starting of semester 2, I started $20 boss it was hard at the start to find a group to be in then I found one we wanted to do spin art and made a plan on it but then the school, shut it down so we had to improvise with our project and decided to go off the getting money part and decided to help the school out with some sport and help the little kids with their sports on Thursdays and at the start I liked it but then it got boring so I decided to go help another group out because they needed help and by the end of that day we decided I was in the group and we started to make mazes and then we also decided we are going to be doing pre-orders so at the market we made money but didn’t give anything away because we wanted to make it after the market and didn’t end up giving them are products till a few weeks before the other market.

After the first market, we decided we needed to make another product because the mazes just weren’t cutting it and so we went with Christmas calenders and when we started making them the laser cutter wasn’t working so I started making melted vinal records that actually looked good and so we made a bit of money.

it was fun and i would do it again

The first couple of weeks in Aquaponics was very hard but definitely an experience that I will never forget. I think that aquaponics was on of my favourite subjects just because of the collaboration that came with doing this subject. Me and my partner Jayden work well together while still figuring out what is the best and most effective and effectively. Sometimes it would be difficult trying to figure out what to do having so little time working in garden especially an Aquaponic garden. It was nice being able to learn so much about something that I haven’t heard before. We had to research for about 2 weeks before we could start we had to research what we could grow and how we had to grow it. After we did that we got to figure out how to space the plants well so we could easily figure out what plants were where.
