LEARNER LEADERSHIP HIGH SCHOOL LEARNER LEADERSHIP 2014 The LLC’s main aim for this year was to build school spirit. They did this by continuing with War Cry Wednesdays, SuperFan and SuperCrit for sporting and cultural events. The LLC of 2014 had an eventful and rewarding year, starting off with the New Learners’ Party. The theme for this was the Amazing Race; this allowed the learners to discover where some of the important places in the school are. This was followed by some eats, drinks and music in the hall. In February, the LLC hosted the annual Junior High social. This years theme was a Mad Hatter’s Tea Party. This event was extremely successful and fun was had by all. As part of their outreach, the LLC worked with the Peer Responders to raise awareness and show support for all types of people by handing out purple and orange ribbons for LGBT’s. The LLC also collected tins of food to send to the striking miners and their families. To keep school spirit going and to keep learners up to date before, after and during any events held at the school, the LLC created an Instagram account. With regards to their actions within the school, the LLC ran parliament sessions during the year, where learners could raise their concerns about the school in general. This was followed up by the members of the LLC and taken to management to discuss. The results of the discussions were reported back to the school at feedback sessions at assemblies. One of the biggest concerns raised was about the use of iPads by the Grade 7s. The LLC worked with the Grade 7s to come up with strategies to allow them to leave their iPads at breaks and start socialising instead, this was very successful. 15
