Introduction of task
For this task, we had to choose a topic we wanted to focus on and we had to do a bunch of research on our chosen topic and fill in all the OneNote pages with information. Then write a letter to your MP in your area and if you wanted you could send them the letter and try to persuade them to maybe agree with your point and hope they change that problem or fix it. The problem can either be Local, State or National.

Dear Mr Wilson
My name is Aidan Orlando I am a year 8 student at All saints college and I believe that there aren’t enough sporting facilities for teens like me who live in the area. I am a passionate basketball player and have nowhere to practice in my neighbourhood or anywhere near me. I’ve found that there are several playgrounds for younger kids but have realised there is nothing in Coogee for the teens like me. So I believe by adding these courts they will be used much more than the playgrounds and appreciated by much more people.
The Key Point of this issue is by adding these courts it gives people in the area more things to do and I don’t see why it is a bad thing to put basketball courts in Coogee because during the weekends I know people would get bored and have nothing to do but by adding basketball courts it will give people something to do instead of stay at home and do nothing all weekend.
How does this involve the community? Anyone can get involved and it can make people become friends and learn to socialize with new people. You can also play with your friends or go by yourself to practice or just shoot some hoops.
What impact does this have? It affects the people in the community because adding these courts it will make people want to go there and if people tell their friends then it benefits Coogee by bringing in more people and they might take interest in the homes or the shops and cafes which will help the businesses and just make Coogee a more fun and exciting place
How will this affect the community? My opinion is by adding these courts not only will it make most of the community happy it might affect other things like the businesses around them or help the community grow in popularity and make people want to move there because they know they have stuff for their teens to do when they get bored. It can also help Investment in children and aspiring athletes. Generates community interest and offers them convenience because people can just walk to the courts from their house
In my area there are a lot of playgrounds for little kids that live around that area there is nothing for the older teens that live there. So by adding these basketball courts you give the teens in the community something to do. By adding these courts they will be used a lot more than the playgrounds do because every time I go for a walk in my neighbourhood I always see the playgrounds empty and the old ones get forgotten and there is no point having more.
Kind Regards
Aidan Orlando
