In our first meeting we discussed a name for our group. We also talked about our group rules and roles. This is important so that we can stay focused on our task.
We worked through an Action Plan from the Enviro Schools - there was lots of chatting and 'going off track' as we discussed the many elements of this project.
We invited Mr Reid to our meeting as many of our ideas needed to be heard by him.
With Mr Reid we discussed where the seat could go, what its purpose was, the cost, the help and a general discussion about how to get started. From here we were able to identify the skills, knowledge and tasks we need to gather.
Our next step is to survey students, teachers and parents to see if they feel the same way as us that our school needs a quiet safe reflection place in our environment.

This is an ambitious project, and very exciting! I look forward to hearing more about it as the ideas are developed and shared. I'm also looking forward to talking to you about the possibilities.
