Global Leaders Convention

Ok today I had a Global Leaders Convention at Winthrop Hall, University of Western Australia. It was hosted by 40 Hour Famine, World Vision. Victoria and I were the only year 8s.

We got on the bus at 8 am. The bus we had was Buswest and it was huge! It was licensed to carry 51 adults but we only had two adults and ten students. The two adults were the chaplains, Pauline Burgess and Paul Bestwick. We just call them Pauline and Bestie. It was awesome! We only had ten students going and we had the biggest bus! Other schools had more people and smaller buses. The inside of our bus was awesome.

When we got there we watched a slide show and listened to this guy talking. After that we played the game about surviving. In each round we had to get a certain amount of points. I was in Group D Country 8 which was Indonesia.

My group survived all five rounds! I made a few friends there! During the game we had to cut and put together plots, crops and animals. In the game Germany bought Australia! It was so funny when three people stuck their name tags on the back of the hosts' shirt!


It was so hectic!

We had two breaks.


When we got back we saw that the room under was a mess.


Rossmoyne SHS is doing the 40 Hour Famine and I'm doing the communication part.

When we got back to school we had 20 minutes to spare and we were allowed to go home if we took the bus or our parents were here already. We also were allowed to go to the library and whoever didn't have anything to do went to Student Services with Pauline and Bestie. Daniel and I were the only two that went with them. Apparently according to the school we were never there as Pauline had us signed out for the whole day it was awesome!

This year I am actually going to do the 40 Hour Famine. I am giving up furniture, books, candy and talking for 40 hours!
