LO5 – Collaboration Working together to achieve an outcome. |

Lo4 – Commitment Showing perseverance, resilience. |
Since online learning has commenced, we’ve no longer been able to continue visiting Apex Harmony Lodge of Friday’s. This is a shame because I really look forward to going there every week and spending some time with the residents – it has really started to become one of the highlights of my week.
However, we have still continued with online sessions every Friday. Something that has really been challenging has been that not everyone has been as committed to attending and engaging online with the activities and tasks that we are assigned. Whilst, this is unfortunate, I’ve really decided to show perseverance, resilience and commitment in the activity. Looking at the positive side of things, as a local service group, we have really gotten a chance to collaborate more with one another.
Furthermore, this collaboration has been really essential to updating our portfolio and blog. Because we are usually so focused on the actual interactions during our service at school, we haven’t really gotten the chance to these things. I really enjoyed re-writing our service blurb together as a group. We all got the chance to volunteer to do a little bit for an upcoming video we are creating. We’ve even got the chance to look at some research – watching videos on Dementia and reflect on what we have learnt from each video together. Lastly something that I wanted to attach a picture of was a fun activity we got to do during one of our latest sessions – we each created a poster that reads #dementiaoutreach. I think that something that I will definitely take away from this experience is that there is always something we can do whether it is offline or online and that my motivation to engage shouldn’t depend on others.
