First Rest Day Blog #2 Print E-mail

On Saturday the 3rd of May it was our first Rest Day. Earlier in the morning some students went to the beach and climbed rocks and ran down sand dunes. We heard that it was fun, even though it was raining.

First Rest Day

Later in the day, some people went fishing on the pier in Marlo; they didn’t catch any fish, but they said it was cold and wet and fun.

Many people that stayed at the Snowy River Campus because it was pouring rain and we listened to music, listened to people play music on their guitars, and watched Hitch hikers guide to the galaxy (Spoiler Alert: 42). It was a good movie with some action and a lot of philosophical debates.

Also we have a student in the hospital with pneumonia; everything is fine and she will be back on campus soon. A few of the students from our campus went to visit her at the hospital. We’re pretty sure she will recover because of the awesome brownies that Indigo, Mary-Anne and Imogen made for her.

We had a great day except for the rain, but everyone still enjoyed themselves. Just another 8 weeks to go!

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.
