The weekend
This weekend is going to be a busy weekend, my sister and I have our netball finals, mine is on Saturday in Mininera and Sarah's is in Lake Bolac on Sunday. We will be also helping my brother move into his how, we have helped him move most of his stuff but just have a little bit more to do. After we do all that we are having fathers day at our house so most of our family will be there and I think that's all :)
Persuasive Response #3
3. It is legal to seek asylum in Australia, even if you arrive on a boat without a visa. People smugglers charge up to $20,000 for asylum seekers to take a journey to countries like Australia to apply for refugee status. If you were an asylum seeker, what would you do?
Asylum seekers who arrive in Australia by boat are neither engaging in illegal activity, nor are they immigrants.The Government stipulates that it would usually be considered as illegal if you come to Australia without a visa, but should not be treated as illegal if a person is seeking asylum.
Just think if you had a family and were poor with no way of surviving would you come to Australia by boat? I think I'd have to be in that situation to make a choice that was suitable for my family and myself whether to go to Australia by boat and may not survive or get granted refuge, or wait until we have a visa and come to Australia that way.
Hypothetically speaking depending on the place I was living in I may come to Australia by boat, but it would always be in my mind whether we were going to survive and get granted refugee status. It would be the waiting I wouldn't like the most and the fear of the unknown, like not knowing if it will work out.
If I was to wait and get my visa it would be basically be the same as coming to Australia by boat because you have to wait for your visa to come and in the meantime you may not survive because of the place your living in. I think I'd probably be more afraid of getting on the boat and knowing I have endangered my family and they may not survive.
Then theres the fear of this!

Work Experience Blog 2
Having the opportunity to do my work experience at St Andrews Kindergarten was an awesome experience because I love working with children and I think it's something I would love do in the future.
Most people may think doing your work experience at a kindergarten is easy but it really isn't because some kids are very challenging and have disabilities, so you don't really know until you have experienced it yourself.
My overall experience was great and I'd do it again for sure!!

Work Experience blog 1
Monday the 22nd of July 2013 I started my work experience at St Andrews Kindergarten Ararat.
For the first work four days I spent working with 4 year old children.
It was a great experience to work with Melissa, Rebecca and Nerissa, they gave me an opportunity to work in all different ways when I was there. I enjoyed the whole experience and I felt welcome. I read a lot of books to the kids because they wanted me to, I think the kids felt comfortable around me which is always a good sign.
On my last day we had the 3 year olds and there are two 3 year old groups, one in the morning at 11 o'clock and one in the afternoon at 1:30. I liked the working with the 3 year old children just like I liked working with the 4 year old kids. My overall experience was great. :)

Letter from Randa to Hal.
I'm sorry i left like this Hal but it was the only way, i couldn't let my father get into trouble by running from the Government. I am currently living back in Afghanistan with my father i am working as a nurse in the Afghanistan war. I hope that you can forgive me Hal, i really miss you and wish their was another way but their just isn't.
Afghanistan is still horrible just like before but I'm adjusting. I really liked Australia but i hated the way the government treated my family so my experience in Australia wasn't so good, i don't regret anything you and i shared. Hal I just hope you understand how much i couldn't let my father go on his own, i really hope you and i meet again because you don't understand how much this is killing me.
Once you introduced me to your friends in Brackley at first i was like they were a bit different to normal people, like it was mostly their personality but as i got to know them they seemed very caring sort of friends.
I miss you so much it hurts.
Talk soon

Asylum seeker
Today I will be talking about how there is confusion amongst Asylum seekers.
The department of immigration says 39 asylum seekers landed in Manus island on Tuesday on a chartered flight from Christmas island.
It states that this group of asylum seekers will never be granted settlement in Australia and will instead be processed in PNG if they are found to be refugees. Since the new policy was announced 25 boats arrived with 1809 on board, 118 of those on board have been transferred to Manus island.
