“the people who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world”

Today I started my day with a student leader meeting where I had to link-up with the other SSL schools. I introduced myself, said a few fun facts about myself and told them what my personal goal was. My personal goals were presenting and strategies to achieve that are making eye contact when talking to the group, use good body language and project my voice when I’m speaking. After the meeting with the other schools, Anais and myself had to get up in front of everyone and tell them what my goal and fun facts were, what the weather was like, who was on duty and who the local heroes were etc.

Morning class:
this morning we had intro to LLP (local learning project) this is where year 6 students from a schools nearby come over and spend the day with us. We each got into groups and choose what we were going to do with the younger kids in our 30 minutes we had to teach them. Rohan, Jacqui, Jordan and myself decided to take them on a mini expo with team building and life skills games as well. After morning tea, we dedicated each person a role to achieve by next lesson so we are on track and get what we want done in the short amount of time we have until they come and visit.

Afternoon class:
this was one of the most enjoyable and exciting things we did, my expo group went surfing at Cape Conran beach. We went and put on a wetsuit and luckily the trailer was already loaded with our surf boards. We met our 2 instructors at the beach where they taught us 2 methods on how to stand up and then we were off onto the water. I stood up a fair few times and accidently crashed into 2 people. Mel and myself were catching the waves together, wed always have a laugh when either her or I would accidently face plant off our boards. The waves were really nice and perfect for surfing. I’m really looking forward to our other surfing lesson straight away in the morning!

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.
