National Young Leaders day.

On Monday the Junior School Leaders (including us!) went to Sydney for the Nataional Young Leaders Day.

National young leaders day was about how to be a good leader and "why should I follow you?"

Our first speaker was Mike Martin, he told us how to be a good influence.

It is bad to follow a leader because you are scared of what will happen if you don't.

it is good to follow a leader that you trust and someone who is a good example.

The next speaker was Greg Mullin.

He told us that to be a good leader you have to be yourself and believe.

Nothing is impossible and leadership is about people.

Another speaker was Kurt Feanley.

Is a famous wheel chair racer and even climbed the kakodatrack.

He said " help others and be kind. After climbing up the track a friend set up a tent and sat him inside, half an hour later he came back with a warm coke bottle and some twisties.

Then Jessica Watson spoke to us.

When she was 16 she sailed around the world and now is a well known sailor.

when she was young she was scared to touch water and could not swim.

She told us to face our fears.

Finally we had Talia Fowler.

She won so you think you can dance and the American version.

She said to us " to be a good leader you have to be a good role model."

National Young Leaders Day was Supercalafragelisticexpialidocious!
