Surprisingly, the whole process is not as easy as it seems. It involved a lot of preparation and contacting the Heads of each department. Initially, we approached Mr Burns, who is the Head of Middle School, followed by Mr Burns, the Head of Upper School, and then the Head of Sixth Form. Although all three agreed for us to conduct the presentations, we weren't able to get them all in the same week.
Over the half term break, we made the presentation online using Office-Online so that we could collaborate and share what we had done easily with each other. When making the presentation, we had to take into account the different ages of the students we'd be presenting to, who ranged from Year 7 to Year 13. Therefore, we didn't include language that was too difficult or complicated to understand. While making the presentation we were able to review our knowledge about Cystic Fibrosis and also learn some new things that will help us raise awareness.
Here is a short account of each individual presentation:
Monday: Presenting to Middle School
Today, I presented along with Ellie, Cami and Celine. The presentation was a great success, especially as all the students were fully focused on what we were saying - there was complete silence in the room (except for us). I thought that it would be more difficult to explain the disease simply to this age group, but generally it went very smoothly.
Tuesday (following week): Presenting to Upper School
This time around we didn't have as much time to present as the teachers also wanted to update the Year 10 and 11s about the usual things, but nevertheless it went very well. We also got some great pictures:
Friday (following week): Presenting to Sixth Form
Luckily, this one was not me. I wasn't actually even there on that day - I had a date with the doctor all day, but I was supporting it just as much as if I had been there in person.
