Lucia Taflaga, Year Five Student
Lucia Taflaga talks about interactions between students
I like the school because there are good friends there and it’s a small school and you basically know everyone. You can ask someone for help and they would probably know the answer. When I’m outside at lunch and someone asks me for the skipping rope from the shed, or when a ball is stuck in the tree, I go and help them. Other times, like in the classroom if I don’t really understand something and I want help from the student’s perspective, I get it.
We learn about being a leader not a boss. A boss tells people what to do. A leader shows them and helps them to do it.
All the fives get a badge and we go around and we give a little religious lesson. It is connected to what they are learning about in religion. (Recently) we were doing about creation and one of the students asked me some question. I had to try and explain it to them in easier concepts and it was a bit challenging for me. I was happy to do that.
There is a lot of support at this school. Sometimes the principal comes in to our classroom and he helps us with our work.
