= Cathy Freeman ﻿ = = Cathy freeman: ** The little girl who ran bare foot grew up to become not just a champion athlete but a national hero and a symbol of reconciliation; A black woman at the centre of white dreaming who still managed to hold on to her Aboriginal identity. ** =

Cathy Freeman was born on the 16th of February 1973; she was born in McKay in Queensland and now living in Melbourne.
==== Cathy Freeman was the first aboriginal athlete to represent Australia. Cathy’s family was poor and like many other Australian Aboriginals, they suffered discrimination from white Australians. One time after winning many races at a primary school competition, Cathy wasn't given a trophy and had to watch as the white girls she had beaten receive trophies. Her family worked hard to raise money that Cathy needed to take her to competitions in Sydney, Canberra and Melbourne. In her first ever Olympic event she won gold in the 4 x 100m relay. Cathy was named The Young Australian of the year in 1996, and in the 2000 Sydney Olympics she was asked to light the cauldron in the opening ceremony. ==== ==== Cathy’s job was obviously being an athlete, but since her retirement she has started up a foundation to help indigenous children have a brighter future. This is a full time job for Cathy, located in far North Queensland, the foundation has a focus on Early Childhood Literacy Programs, Non Truancy Project, After School Activity Program, Education Scholarships and Educational and Aspiration Tours. ==== ==== Cathy is a very influential person, because not only is she a gold medallist and the first ever indigenous person to be chosen to represent Australia, but she has also proven a point that no matter where you come from or what colour you are, if you have the determination and drive to achieve your goals and be someone in the world that you can. ==== ==== I believe that Cathy Freeman is an achiever, she is determined and courageous person, and she’s free spirited and very loving. Being an achiever you should be Adaptable, Excelling, Driven, and Image-Conscious. Cathy may not be very image-conscious because I don’t think she will need to worry about what she looks like when she running, but all the other aspects Cathy fits pretty well. ====

== S.E.P.E.P

Power, how positions of power affect relationships at home, at school and socially? The position of power can vary, depending on what situation is occurring. For example at home parents have the power, even though everyone has a say, the parents will make the final decision because they hold the power in the family. In schooling, teacher and staff have the power, this is because they have a duty of care to make sure the students are safe and are in a happy learning environment. They need to have the power otherwise the student’s safety and learning will be disrupted. In a social environment, the power will depend on who is the most controlling and intimidating, they will use this to win over peoples approval, and use per pressure to take control.

Role in SEPEP Maggie and I are the Media /Publicity, our role is to update the notice board, have a match summery and interview players on how they think the game went and what in their opinion do they think that our team needs to improve on. We need to interview captain of each team we play and collect the data and stats of people and create a player profile for each of the people in our team. During each game we are required to take photos of the players and place them up on the S.E.P.E.P board in the music room. Overall we are just the paparazzi and are in charge of making the team ‘’newspaper.’’

NAME: Unknowns

TEAM: Maggie, Michaela, Corey, Sam, Georgia, Madi.

Day 1. Our first try at Frisbee didn’t have a very good out come. We were beaten by the other teams by a numerous amount of points, so this week we were determent to win.

GAME 1. OPPOSTION: ** Daises ** Our first game was against the Daisies, the wind was giving our team the advantage so we were up by 2 at the end of the first half. We got the hang of the game and dominated in the second half, with the final score of the game being 5 : 2. The 2 stand outs in the opposition’s team were Kate and Deanna. The 3 goal scorers in the team were Michaela with 2 points, Madi with 2 points and Georgia scoring 1 point for the team.

COMMENTS: Michaela: Yes, I am very happy with our game, glad to have a win! Georgia: I think we did pretty well, I think we need to improve on our catching, throwing and intercepts. Other than that I think we played pretty well. Madi: I think we got a little frustrated every now and then, but I think that was our competitiveness coming through. We played very well and I hope to do the same thing in the next game. Maggie: Overall, a good game, Michaela and Madi both stood out, scoring 2 goals each. Everyone participated, it was fun.

GAME 2. Opposition: ** Constellations ** Game 2 we were playing the Constellations, tension was high by the end of the first half, with us only being up a few goals. A lot of frustration caused drops, bad passes and overall bad play. In the second half we gave up. A lot of laughs and un-concentrated players brought the team down. While the other team was over competitive and getting frustrated at the Unknowns lack of caring. The final score was 4: 5, us loosing by 1.

COMMENTS: Michaela: It was disappointing to lose like that, especially because we were up in the first half, but I guess we just need to learn how to stay focused. Corey: Well it was a little annoying to lose, but hopefully next week we won’t get frustrated and then we might win every game. Maggie: It’s sad that we lost, but I guess you can’t win every game. I just hope we can play a bit better next week.

MLG SPEECH!! :) Hello, as you may know my name is Madi Nicholson and I and up here today to tell you why I would be such a great leader for the McLaughlin house.  Being a representative of the McLaughlin house I will go out of my way to make our team rise and show its full potential, by voting for me you will be helping our team become a better and stronger community. I will put my all into our house and school and even though I may not be the smartest person, I have some great leadership skills and I am proud to say I have.  Voting for me to be a part of the MLG in 2011 you will be making a decision that you will not regret. I will represent the school to the best of my abilities and I will do my best to help anyone with any problems or concerns that they may have. I will be honest, reliable, organised and most of all I will carry the 4 school charisms, stewardship, hospitality, reconciliation and compassion. I admire lots or people, so many that it’s difficult to actually count, but there’s one that has especial stood out and she’s Cathy Freeman. Cathy Freeman is a athlete who I aspire to be like, not just because she’s a fast runner or known by thousands of people worldwide, but because she had a goal, a goal to be the first aboriginal woman in the Australian Olympic team, and now that she has concurred that dream, she is a role model to many other children with a aboriginal background. After her retirement, she has now started up a foundation to help support young indigenous children. This is what makes her a leader; this is why I aspire to be like her. At Marymount, the 4 charisms are very important part of the schools tradition. I will carry out the 4 charisms, stewardship, hospitality, compassion and reconciliation in the best possible was that I can and I will use them towards everyone to make Marymount a very happy and loving place. I guess being a part of the MLG next year will be a amazing opportunity and if you were to decide to vote for me to lead our house I will do my absolute best to represent this school in the best possible way and I will help Marymount become a happier, loving and more exciting place to learn. So finally I would like to say vote for me and you won’t regret it, thank you. :)
