Bridge Building

Hello from Marlo!

This past week has flown by so fast! It has been so exciting being able to meet all these new people and trying different activities. I’m really enjoying the food, facilities, classes and great location. It’s taken a while, but everyone is finally starting to settle in. We are also all getting along well together and form bonds with our friends as well as our expo teams.

Last week, one of the teamwork activities we worked on was bridge building. My expo group (2B) did really well, and we were all able to co-operate as a group. We learnt how to tie different knots and how to communicate as a team. We all shared our ideas and made sure that we all pitched in so we could complete the bridge on time. It got really intense towards the end as we were scrambling to get the bridge in place before we had to pack up. Even though our bridge ended up collapsing, we all were really proud of how we had all worked hard, and we were able to then reflect on what we did well, and what we can improve on next time.

Anyway, we are all having a really great time so far and we are learning so much!

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.
