- What ‘Leave No Trace’ guidelines have you learnt about and met during this unit?
During this unit, we have really gone deep into the impact of man-made objects, and how they damage wildlife. We had to pick up our rubbish, and other bits of plastic debris, that could potentially harm the wild animals.
- Name and describe five significant events that happened over the past 2 terms in Muir personally
- Rottnest Island, snorkelling. The water was clear blue, it was a beautiful day, and we even saw a seal!
- Klout shooting in archery. We had to shoot over a long distance, and it was so fun.
- Manning Park orienteering. We went on the look for markers set up by Orienteering WA.
- Coogee beach snorkelling. We watched all of the beautiful fish, around Omeo Shipwreck.
- Orienteering around the school, looking for different coloured markers in very unusual places…
- What was the funniest most memorable moment in Muir so far?
Going to Manning Park, in a group with Georgia, Tiana and Pritika, and we were trying a really hard course with 8 markers. In the end, we found 2 markers, a rotting couch, a rusty car, and a pumpkin. It was a very funny experience.
- What have you learnt about yourself in the course?
I have learnt that I can take charge and help a group to get back on course.
- How can you use this in the future?
This could be very helpful in the future, working with a group and needing to get something done.
- How have you felt about being in natural environment?
I have felt very connected to our beautiful earth, but also sad, that it is very polluted. I loved being able to experience animals in their beautiful natural habitat.
- What skills do you need to improve on? Why?
I need to improve on my pacing. Our group often went too far or too close and missed our markers.
- Name 3 strengths of yours
I am friendly, cooperative and an effective communicator with my peers.
- What is the best thing about Muir?
Getting to go on such great excursions and make new friendships.
