A Nice Cool Off

Yesterday Josh and Kelsey were student leaders.  Josh said “I enjoyed being student leader; it was nice to have a lot of power”. Kelsey said “Being student leader was a great experience as well as enjoyable”.

Yesterday everyone headed down to the beach for the afternoon because it was a very hot day here at Snowy.  Everyone packed onto buses and a few vans then headed into Marlo.  We walked down the steps to ‘The Blue Hole’ and we walked across and swam in the entrance and played a game of touch rugby on the sand in the middle. Everyone had a refreshing swim and a few played touch rugby even the teachers joined in.  It was a great afternoon and everyone had a ball.

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.
