“At my school I didn’t do any work, only sometimes. I fought people in the yard. I hurt them, punching then. I swore at the teachers. I ran away from school twice. I went to Timbarer with a friend and the other place I went to was Fountain Gate Shopping Centre. I ran out of the principal’s office and would run out of the classroom. When I first came to Cheshire, I didn’t really want to do my work so I would just sit there. Some mornings I didn’t want to come to school. When I got in trouble I wouldn’t leave the classroom and we had lots of meetings. This term I am leaving and I now do all my work. I do my consequences when the teacher asks. I don’t have bad meetings any more. I don’t miss out on excursions. I am happy and I have more friends.”
