In my opinion, the day was quite a success. I believe that everything went as well as it possibly could until second session, not that there were any problems with the it. At this point, most of the grade eights seemed to not care as much about what we were talking about and, at least in my session, started to bring up completely stupid ideas, such as paying people to kill mass amounts of other people, to get a laugh out of it. What we should've done instead of second session was have some sort of active, fast paced activity done with the group you were with for session one (Grade 8s only). Grade twelves could go into a deeper discussion as to take more out of the day without having to worry about leaving the grade 8s out of debate.
Perhaps next year we should make smaller keynote addresses. Though Mrs. Saifi's presentation was fantastic, if we'd opened with Dr. Kubursi's, the day would've started much slower than it did. Maybe we could have two keynotes going on at the same time and have people pick which one they want to go to.
I think the panel was great, the time for that should've been extended as we had many more questions to be answered.
