Naplan Testing and Gender Night Print E-mail

Today everyone had their second day of Naplan. The reading test went for about 65 minutes and everyone thought it was a bit boring.

The one thing everyone really enjoyed including the teachers was Gender night. Gender night was about getting your ideas out about what you thought about your gender and their characteristics. All the boys had a great time mucking around and giving ridiculous answers to the questions and the girls had heaps of fun laughing at the questions and some of the answers that they wrote down in their groups. Then we shared our answers up at Grandma (the fire on the edge of the property.) It was really interesting to hear some of the opinions of the opposite gender and to hear what they really thought about some things. All in all, everyone had a really enjoyable time and we’re all looking forward to our second and third gender nights.

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.
