Parent Bulletin 1ARRIVAL DAY!
First Letter Home to parents of Snowy River Campus Students,
Sunday 30 April 2023

Welcome to the community of the Snowy River Campus for our Term 2 8 week SSL program.

A Snapshot of Letter 1 ...

During the course of the next 8 weeks, we shall be using uEducateUs to communicate with you a number of times. You will receive uEducateUs communications via the uEducateUs app or email. You can download the uEducateUs app at Google Play for Android or the Apple App Store for iPhone. The content of the communications is to assist you with your side of the Snowy River experience. The information will not necessarily deal with individuals and their achievements, but more about the living and learning process all students will be undertaking. We want to provide you with some early reminders and information for your arrival day and to perhaps help you on your return and continued journey. We hope to post images on Facebook from time-to-time as well.

The first and primary contact for the care and welfare of your son/daughter will be the Snowy River Campus liaison teacher. He or she will introduce themselves to you today and also go through the enrolment details. Later in the week, he or she will contact you via uEducateUs or phone to share how your son/daughter is coping in their new environment. Moreover, in every instance (be it to do with communication from staff or your child), no news is good news!

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.
