What is an Enneagram? The word Enneagram is of Greek origin and refers to a diagram with nine points or lines. "Enneagram" is the name of the system of knowledge as well as its symbol. The Enneagram is an ancient teaching of mysterious origins which is said to represent every process of creation and renewal. The Enneagram is taught as a technology or system of human development, self-discovery, spiritual growth and self-actualization. The Enneagram, today, is most often presented as a system of personality types. Each personality type is characterized by specific patterns of thought, speaking style, feelings, emotions, sensations, and belief systems which are universal to the type.

How many types are there? There are nine types of personalities in an enneagram but they can have different names for each topic.

Personality types 1. The perfectionist Ones are conscientious and ethical, with a strong sense of right and wrong. They are teachers, crusaders, and advocates for change, always striving to improve things, but afraid of making a mistake.

2. The helper Twos are empathetic, sincere, and warm-hearted. They are friendly, generous, and self-sacrificing, but can also be sentimental, flattering, and people-pleasing.

3. The achiever Threes are self-assured, attractive, and charming. Ambitious, competent, and energetic, they can also be status-conscious and highly driven for advancement. They are diplomatic and poised, but can also be overly concerned with their image and what others think of them.

4. The individualist Fours are self-aware, sensitive, and reserved. They are emotionally honest, creative, and personal, but can also be moody and self-conscious.

5. The investigator Fives are alert, insightful and curious. They are able to concentrate and focus on developing complex ideas and skills.

6. The loyalist Sixes are reliable, hard-working, responsible, and trustworthy. They foresee problems and foster cooperation, but can also become defensive, evasive, and stress while complaining about it.

7. The enthusiast Sevens are extroverted, optimistic, versatile, and spontaneous. Playful, high-spirited, and practical, they can also misapply their many talents, becoming over- extended, scattered, and undisciplined.

8. The challenger Eights are self-confident, strong, and assertive. Protective, resourceful, straight-talking, and decisive, but can also be ego-centric and domineering. Eights feel they must control their environment, especially people, sometimes becoming confrontational and intimidating.

9. The peace maker Nines are accepting, trusting, and stable. They are usually creative, optimistic, and supportive, but can also be too willing to go along with others to keep the peace. They want everything to go smoothly and be without conflict, but they can also tend to be complacent, simplifying problems and minimizing anything upsetting.



My personality type…. The romantic some good things are they are warm, compassionate, creative and supportive. But some of the worst things are they can be depressed, self- conscious and moody. Fours are motivated by the need to experience their feelings and to be understood, to search for the meaning of life and to avoid being ordinary. = My Historical Leader =  NEVILLE BONNER  (1922 - 1999)

Neville Bonner was the first aboriginal to sit in Federal Parliament as a Senator for Queensland from 1971 to 1983. On his journey from poverty to parliament house he experienced unemployment and discrimination. As a politician he worked to improve conditions for Aborigines, and became a voice for his people. Neville Bonner was born in 1922. His mother was an Aborigine, but he never knew his father, an Englishman who went back to England before Neville was born. Neville Bonner was born on Ukerebagh Island, in the mouth of the Tweed River. Because there was nowhere else to go, in those days Aboriginal people had to be out of the towns before sunset. They couldn't get back into town again until sunrise the next day, Neville's mother was not allowed to go to hospital to give birth to him, she gave birth to him in a little gunya under the palm tree, on a government issued blanket. Those are the kind of things that Neville Bonner had to cope with when he was born and when he was a small child, right up into his teenage years and into his manhood. He had a brother called Jimmy. He had only one year of formal education, and worked in all sorts of odd jobs along the way to become Australia's first Aboriginal to enter federal politics. Neville continued to speak out on situations that divided black and white Australian's. He was named Australian of the Year in 1979. In 1983 he resigned from the job as Senator and stood as an independent candidate, but failed to win a seat. In 1998 Neville was told he was dying of lung cancer, but he vowed to continue his work. Neville Thomas Bonner died of lung cancer at Ipswich, Queensland, on the 5th of February. He was seventy-six when he died. A funeral chant in his language was included in the state funeral held for him. I think he was one great man to his land, his people and his country and he is an inspiration to all people because, just because you are a different colour or culture or have different beliefs you can still do what other's can, no matter what.



**//__ I LEAD WHO I AM __//** Hello my name is Sarah Hamilton and today I will be nominating for McLaughlin captain for 2011. My personality type is the individualist and although we can be moody, self-conscious and stubborn. We can also be warm, compassionate, creative and supportive. As a leader I would be friendly and welcoming to all members of the Marymount community and listen to people’s views and try to understand their feelings. I will use my creative skills to combine my ideas with yours. I want to show support for the needs of all our girls by surveying what you would like to see changed or improved.

My inspiration is Neville Bonner. His personality type is that of the reformer. He was conscientious and ethical, with a strong sense of right and wrong. He was always striving to improve things for black and white people. He was morally ethical and heroic. He would never stress and worry about the outcome of what would happen and took control of the situation.

He had very good morals that everyone should be treated the same no matter what colour you are or culture. He believed in Right and wrong conduct, was honest and honourable. I think Neville Bonner was a good leader because of the way he inspired people to do what they wanted. He encouraged people to go for their goals despite their colour, race or beliefs. I will show the Marymount college values of hospitality by being friendly to all those I meet and by helping anyway I can by listening to them and their ideas to make the school better.

I will encourage reconciliation by putting others before myself and making sure they’re happy before I am and by making it a safe and happy environment for everyone in the Marymount community.

I will build Compassion by showing that I care about the Marymount community and its students.

Stewardship could be improved by allowing students to have more choice in their learning for e.g. by giving students of topics for one term for the independent studies.

As Neville Bonner once said, “Let us work together on the real issues. Let us unite not divide…. and go into the future and start fresh”. I’d like to finish by saying if I was a leader on the MLG in 2011, I would make Marymount a better place to learn because “I WOULD LEAD WHO I AM”
