Hi,
My name is Sophie and I go to Rosebud Secondary College. This experience at Snowy River has been the greatest experience of my life. We do activities I would never have thought about doing at home and have always dreamed of doing.

Today we had 12 grade 6 students from Hazelwood Primary School come in to be taught by the students here at Snowy. We decorated the rooms with a native Australian animal theme so we drew a river with chalk along the entrance of the building and had gum tree branches scattered around the room with animals hiding in them. It honestly looked amazing. We all had classes organised that ran for 20 minutes each. Our job was to engage the kids in some fun, yet informative way. It might sound easy but after we did all our preparation then practice of our presentations, it became a more complicated job. My group consisted of Sophie, Harry, Conor and I and our class was based around Surf Life Saving. We taught them about rips, first aid, CPR and other dangers such as drowning and sharks. The hardest part I found would’ve been keeping them engaged.

I’ve loved my time here and I’m looking forward to the next few weeks.
