We were student leaders for the first time yesterday, Monday the 7th of March. It was a very enjoyable day. Half of the snowy students went caving and the other half stayed at here at SRC. For the both of us we found it different to be the people standing out the front talking to the students and staff, we enjoyed helping students remember where to be and at what time.

Abbey’s personal goal was to be a confident speaker by, talking loudly and not fidgeting, I think I achieved this. Brodie’s personal goal was to run an energiser game during the class, unfortunately this did not happen because there was not enough time . The community goal was to have a big clean up of the campus because both Brodie and I decided the area was starting to get a little messy, which took a bit of encouraging but finally got done after evening class.
This day made both of us realise just how hard it is to be a teacher. It made us appreciate the staff a lot more and we will always remember to show our respect to future student leaders because we know just how hard it is. But overall the day was most enjoyable and we can’t wait till we are student leaders again.

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.
