We arrived at Quakers Hill Public School on 26th of March to have a meeting with 20 different schools, 15 primary schools and 5 high schools. Mrs Gardiner, who is in charge of the Quakers Hill Network, ran the meeting. When we got there, we started to talk about transitions to high school or into primary school. There were big pieces of paper on the wall where we could write what was good about transitions, what wasn’t so good, what could be better and new ideas. There were lots of opinions from different captains in the area, and lots of new ideas. Some students suggested that they could add more programs for transitioning from primary school to high school and that they could add more support from teachers for students who are struggling with transitions. In the middle of the day, we ate morning tea and got to know the other schools and students. At the end of the day we voted on 2 representatives, 1 from high school, and 1 from primary school to represent the Quakers Hill Network at a higher level. 1 boy from high school and one girl from primary school were elected for the role. After we finished, we took some photos with all of the students and we came back to the school at around 11:45. Overall it was a fun and eventful day full of lots of different opinions from different schools. We really enjoyed hearing different opinions from other schools, and representing our own school. We are looking forward to attending the next meeting and discussing other topics.
