Second Action Plan

First of all, what is our goal for handing flyers and posting posters?

I made this flyers using a free poster creator

This is me handing flyers

Our goal is to raise awareness to students to tell them that it's happening every minute and every second because some people think that being not okay is okay. I notice at school that if we're talking about depression or suicide some people just say their opinion without thinking the consequences of it and they might not notice in their class that someone is hurting inside. We met other students and they said that they're really interested in our topic. They even wish us good luck and said "We hope that you guys will make a change in our school community." and that gave me the hope and enthusiasm to finish our work.

The outcome of our action was actually really good. One of the enablers of our action was ourselves and our form teacher, Miss Handley. She supported us throughout the week. She printed and photocopied our posters. On the other hand, if there are enablers, there are also disablers. Our biggest enemies in this action are those students who're ripping our posters. We don't know to be exactly why they do those things and this is the problem in our school community, instead of supporting each other, the opposite thing happens.

mental health. When I is replaced
by We, illness becomes wellness."

These are the action plans we've been created for the past few days. Hopefully, these action plans can prevent or. Our aim is we want to make an impact on our school community by creating a hangout place where students from year 7-10 can play together or can talk about their problems without hesitation. We want to bring Hornby closer together. Because I noticed that at school, most students have their own group of friends which causes emotional impacts for those students who don't have their 'group of friends', or they might feel left out. And this cause mental illness, depression to be exact. There would be times that they don't want to go to school anymore.

"There's H.O.P.E."

First of all, I'd like to thank Mr. Wilson and Mr. Aitken for giving us the opportunity to make a difference in our community.

On Monday, we started PBL. In PBL, were formed into groups with 3-4 members. Our teachers gave us an opportunity to choose who do we like to work with, and I chose Lovely and Wardah.  My group, HOPE chose mental health as our topic. We did some intensive research about it because this topic is a serious topic.

Here are the websites we've accessed for the past few days; and suicide statistics are shocking

PBL Reflection

Starting the week with PBL is fun and interesting. We started the day with an assembly in the AV room and Mr Wilson explained what are the things we need to focus on. Doing PBL is take-a-risk on teachers and students. My group chose mental health as our topic. Our goal in this PBL is how to make a positive impact on the community, not just for Hornby but also for the whole world cause for us, being a student/teen will not stop us for helping the community. As of now, PBL is going really well with my group and I hope we are going to succeed.
