We met at 10 am that morning outside the clock tower and signed in.
Inside a presentation was set up for us and all the other students attending. At around 11am the seminar began with a few activities to help everyone to get to know each other. After this we were broken into random groups and we were given tasks to do in teams and the tasks were all about TY and how TY works in our own schools, they were interesting and fun to do.
At around 12.30am we were given an hour for lunch, which was provided, and were allowed to relax. At 1.30pm we were given a presentation on what the ISSU was and what it did and how we should get involved with the student council in our own school. Then an election was held for places in the ISSU. One of our own students from 5th year was elected and he was very pleased. Then we were asked to make posters about the benefits of TY and by the time all of this was over it was 3 and at that stage we went home. Altogether it was an enjoyable and informative day.
