LLP CommitteeOn Wednesday the 5th of March the Snowy River School for Student Leadership held a LLP Day (Local Learning Project Day). On our LLP day we had students from Hazelwood Primary School came to the campus and spent the day with the students of the Snowy River School for Student Leadership learning a range of different topics taught by the Snowy River students.

The day was planned by our LLP committee; Hannah, Sophie. G, Katherine, Emma. H, Emily, Amy.G, Elly, Chantelle, Graham, Kacey, Harry and Alana. The Committee worked hard in the weeks leading up to the event with the whole community involved.

On the day students from both schools were excited to meet and enjoy the day together. The theme of the day was native animals. The whole campus was decorated to the max by all the Snowy River students. Each group of Hazelwood students had a range of different lessons taught to them throughout the day, ranging from Indigenous Australian history, art, animals, bush tucker, camping skills, fire skills and many more interesting topics. By the end of the day all students from both schools had gained new knowledge and before we knew it we had to say good bye. It was a successful day enjoyed by all.

My name’s Elly and my group taught the Hazelwood students about native snakes, our lesson was very successful, all three of us not only got the time to teach other people about snakes but we also learnt how we can improve our public speaking and presentations. I loved the experience and would take the chance to do it again any day.

My name’s Chantelle and my group taught the Hazelwood students about Bush tucker. We had the students and ourselves eat some of the bush tucker plants and used them to wash their hands. I enjoyed the lesson and learnt new things and the students all told us afterward they enjoyed the lesson so it was all very successful and it went by in a flash.

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.

We pay our respects to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, their Elders past and present, and especially whose children attend our school.
