    SRC is the best place i've ever been to. i really miss it and everyone. :) The last night of camp was awesome. We all had a disco and then a bonfire afterwards. It was so much fun. But at the same time.. it was really sad because we had to leave the next day... :'(

    term 3 2009 had to be the best experience of our lives, the 9 week journey changed us forever. some of our favourite things included:
    -expo- playing games on the beach at night ;) having gossip sessions in tents. walking instead of canooeing and having a totally unique expo from every other expo group.
    -surfing- learning a new skill. wipping out continuosly. Lars purposly making faces so you would stack it.
    -The Party Bus- Abosuluting pumping the speakers, playing bonkers over and over.
    -having the best liason teachers- (Mr Bourke and Miss Stevens)
    Thankyou so much for the memories we will keep forever
    we treasure our time spent with the friends we made there and will never forget
    SRC term 3 2009 (the best!!)

    Words just cannot describe this place. Over such a short period of nine weeks I was able to grow more than I ever thought possible. I don't think that in my lifetime I have ever smiled :-), laughed :-D and cried :'( so much just over one thing. From my journey at SRC I have gained so many skills to help me with my life, faced multiple fears, learnt so much about myself and made friendships that will last with me hopefully over my entire lifetime. I cannot thank the staff an teachers enough for everything that they have done, they are truly the biggest legends ever.

    Going to SRC was the best choice of my life. At first I was nervous about going, but as soon as I started getting to know people I felt right at home. I learnt so much from the staff and other students, and what I did learn will stay with me forever. I am now so much more confident in everything I do. Thank you to SRC, and to all the other people who went, for making it the best 9 weeks of my life :-)

    SRC was the most fun of my life. I made awesome friends there and my roomie was the best! Funniest memory was when me and Ellie fell out of the canoe before we'd even started the whole day of canoeing on expo. It was a very wet trip but so good! Foxholes on the beach. Happy days...

    Ellie darcy: SRC was awesome, there were so many awesome people and staff! it was the most fun ever. All the memories were wicked! funniest was when me and Hannah Urwin fell in at the start of the expo like before we had even started! It was so muddy, but still it wasn't our fault. I am glad no one saw us though. My room mate was totally awesome and made my experience easier and way cooler. We were the talkative ones who were the last to stop talking! I can't thank all the staff who are all brilliant at doing what they love with so much enthusiasm. The teachers were all pretty cool like DJ sandals and Mr Reeves with those wicked Ray bans8-) and the driving abilities of all the staff:P. Especially not closing the door while going to bridge building and all of the logs nearly coming out! good times;] hope this camp runs for a lot longer;] Ellie

School For Student Leadership

School for Student Leadership is a Victorian Department of Education and Training (DET) initiative offering a unique residential education experience for year nine students. The curriculum focuses on personal development and team learning projects sourced from students' home regions. There are four campuses in iconic locations across Victoria. The Alpine School Campus is located at Dinner Plain in the Victorian Alps. Snowy River Campus is near the mouth of the Snowy River at Marlo in east Gippsland. The third site is adjacent to Mount Noorat near Camperdown in Victoria’s Western District, and is called Gnurad-Gundidj. After consultation with the local aboriginal community, this name represents both the indigenous name of the local area and an interpretation of the statement "belonging to this place". Our fourth and newest campus, currently known as the Don Valley Campus is located at Don Valley, Yarra Ranges.
--
Our school community acknowledges the Gunaikurnai and Monero-Ngarigo people as the traditional custodians of the land upon which our school campus is built. We pay our respects to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, their Elders past and present, and especially whose children attend our school.
