Planning

The Relay for Life starts at 3pm on Saturday and ends at 9am the next day. The time spent at the actual Relay for Life would be 19 hours. More hours would be spent on creating my collage of pictures and stuff that I collect from the relay for life (e.g. pamphlets, items from other teams etc). I will also spend time researching before hand and afterwards for my oral presentation.

My Hours:
2+ Hours – Fundraising
19 Hours – At the Relay for Life
1 Hour – Gathering all the things I collect and making a basic plan of what I want I want my final product to look like
4 Hours – Making my final product (a collage of pictures and items that show how I helped the community (e.g. a raffle ticket that I sold, information about the relay for life and about cancer in general)
3 Hours – working on my Oral.
Altogether 29 Hours
* Hours might change (how long it takes to make my collage and how long it will take to complete my oral. How long it will take to plan, and how many hours I fundraise)

When will my project take place?
The Relay for Life starts at 3pm on Saturday 17th of April and continues onto the next day at 9am Sunday 18th April (1st weekend of Term 2)

How will I apply ‘Stewardship to the community’?
- by raising money for cancer research
o The money will go towards investigating new ways to prevent, detect and treat cancers
o Educate people on the Gold Coast about ways they can reduce their cancer risk
o Advocating cancer control
o Supporting people during their times of greatest need
- it will help the global community for people around the world who have cancer, and especially people in Australia because our sun is really strong (and because of how much time we spend it the sun)
- It will be worthwhile in the long run when they find a cure and any information about the disease (W)
- While doctors are working with what they have, with the money that will be raised from not only me and my team, but also everyone else, they will be able to get to the people that cant afford it and to help get more resources that will be helpful (I)
- The Relay for life not only happens in Australia, but also places such as the UK and America host an annual Relay for Life

How will I be a ‘Character of global citizenship’?
- At the Relay for Life at night, if you know someone that has cancer, had cancer or died for cancer, you have the opportunity to decorate and light up a lantern to show respect for those people
- I will be showing dedication every time I make a lap of the course of how I want to help and how work must be done to get something in the end. I will be committed to the Relay for life (E)

How will I become a ‘Life long learner’?
- By being apart of the Relay for life, I will be learning more about cancer. This information will help me think of what to do and what not to do to not get cancer in the long run
- When I am with people and I see them doing something that might endanger them of getting cancer, I will tell them and then they can spread the word
- I will be providing a service when I tell people about cancer and when I actually do the run I will be helping the cancer community (S)

How will I be a ‘Reflective Thinker’?
- When I am researching and don’t know what something means, I will be critical and ask questions about it and find out what it means
- I will be a creative thinker by thinking about ways to create my final project
- I will be looking at the big picture of ‘cancer’

How will I become a ‘Leader for the Future?’
- I will show understanding about people who are dealing with cancer and people who know of people that are dealing with cancer (My Grandfather died of cancer and I didn’t get to meet him, and so if I can prevent something like that happening from someone else, or comforting them about the same reason, then I will.)

What will be on my slideshow oral?
- What I learned from my WISE project
- How I helped the community
- Anything that I learnt
- About the Relay for life (so that if anyone wants to do it next year they can)
- Any difficulties and challenges I had while completing my project
- Any highlights I had while participating in the Relay for Life
- Any improvements that I would make if I were to do this again (e.g. my fundraising ideas)

How will I fundraise?
- Walking on my street (last year when I went around one of the houses was having a party and they contributed a lot of money (I am hoping to catch the party again!))
- Family and friends
- Asking people at swim training
- Putting a note on Facebook telling people about what I am doing and if they want to donate to contact me
- My Netball teams (9 girls on each team times 3)
- Going around my neighbourhood
- Fundraising with my friend (also doing the Relay for Life)
o Going around her street (It takes an hour to go up one side of her street)
o Going around her neighbourhood

How will I raise money?
- The cancer council does a raffle (all money goes towards cancer research)
o I will get heaps of booklets and sell these.
- If people want to donate and don’t want to buy raffle tickets, they can (I will tell them when I sell the raffle tickets)

What will I need for my final product?
- A large plain piece of paper
- Anything I collected during the day/night
- A description of what I did on a separate piece of paper
o Information about the relay for life
o A brief summary of what my project is about
- Heaps of photos
o Of what we did
o The course
o The location
o What it was like
o What we did during the night
- How much fun we had (even though we might be really tired)
- All the activities we took part in

What Skills am I aiming to achieve with my project?
- learn how to survive without sleep for 24 hours (how to juggle with what I am given with)
- Habits of mind
o Persisting
- I will be sticking to my project goal for the whole year
o Listening with understanding and empathy
- Listening to peoples stories about cancer
o Managing Impulsivity
- I am taking my time and planning my project before I just go out and do it
o Applying past knowledge to new situations
- I will be able to know what I am doing because this is my 4th year being apart of the Relay for life, and the 8th year my family has been apart of the relay
o Responding with wonderment and awe
- I will be having fun while I am raising awareness and fundraising for cancer
o Creating, imagining and innovating
- I will have to create my final project and imagine what it will look like in my head before I do it so that I know where I am going
o Thinking Interdependently
- walking with other people when doing laps, thinking together if a problem occurs on the night
o Remaining open to continuous learning
- My knowledge about cancer can continue to grow bigger and bigger
