Year 9 Physical Program response

The Year 9 physical challenge program in the first term of '09 was a lot of fun and brought many benefits. The program teaches us what we can accomplish physically while extending those boundaries. It makes the lazy students become fitter, all of this in a positive environment. Students push themselves outside of their usual comfort zones, and shows them what they can really do if they put their minds to it. It didn't matter how tiring it got, the program was always fun to be a part of. It also stopped us from kicking down lockers and beating each other up, since we were tired. Those that move into year 9 are faced with this challenge, have a lot of fun and learn a few things a long the way.

Peaceful Warrior Response

The Peaceful Warrior movie was as enjoyable as it was educational. There was many fun and dramatic moments in the movie that made it nice to watch. It also sent a strong message to viewers. Don't let your ego and fears get in the way of your dreams, just focus on the moment in front of you. There are also some very good quotes that come out of the movie such as "The journey is what brings us happiness - not the destination." There are some symbolic scenes while watching that are very well done. For example, one scene depicts the main character about to jump off a high tower. Someone is standing on the same tower, acting all arrogant and fearless as this person is doing flips and cartwheels right on the edge. He turns around, and the main character finds himeself looking at his own face. He drops this man off the tower, and this symbolises him letting go of his ego. And thus explaining the movie and its contents.

Urban Adventures Description

Homelessness in Melbourne, you wouldn't think much of it. During our short time in the city, one man showed us what was really happening behind the scenes. That man is Tim. He only took us up a street and down an alleyway, but we had learnt so much. He taught us about his 'soup kitchen', though he doesn't like to call it that. It is called 'Urban Seed'. He told us some very moving stories about some of the people that come into the building just to get a little to eat. Tim dressed in a strange way that some people would find unacceptable. He had some cool dreadlocks, tied up with his own hair, a nice jacket and some old trousers. The experience at 'Urban Seed' was a memorable one, and you leave with a lot.

Movie Quote Paragraph

"Emotions musn't control you" From the movie 'Peaceful Warrior', this is not just a simple statement. What it really means is that you must not let an emotion such as anger, affect your judgement of the situation. Imagine you were a school student, and you've jsut woken up in a bad mood. 'Gee I hate school, there's so much homework, I'm going to pull a sickie'. Anger is changing your judgement, and you're not looking at it seriously. You could end up getting into deep trouble. Therefore creating a worse scenario then if you went to school. So you shouldn't let an emotion control you.
