Life Changing Print E-mail

Snowy River has been the biggest journey for me so far in my life. It has taught me so many life changing things. It has encouraged me to be myself and to no longer try to impress everyone around me.

Before I started my journey here I was so focused on everyone else and what their opinion was of me but coming here I have learnt that it’s not what others think but it’s what I think of myself that matters. SRC has given me the chance to build up the courage and self-confidence to stand up for what I think is right, it has given me a hand full of opportunities to take on leadership roles, to put forward my ideas and opinions to the rest of the school community. This amazing opportunity with a great supportive team of peers and teachers has pushed me to move up and beyond what I ever thought was possible for me to accomplish. It is truly a life changing journey.

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.
