Meeting Mike the Park Ranger and Food for Thought Print E-mail

Meeting Mike the Park RangerToday everyone had their 3rd day of Naplan, this time it was maths and most found it rather dull.

One thing that everyone enjoyed was having ranger Mike come in and share his knowledge and stories about being a park ranger. He was very enjoyable to listen to and it was good to hear about the many different things he does as park ranger. We also got to see his pet water dragon Steve, which everyone really enjoyed. 

However, for most the worst part of the day was food for thought.  The majority of us were peasants and were left without lunch which was difficult for most to cope with. Although we understood the message that the teachers were trying to get across about world hunger and poverty, many of the students were too tired and hungry to understand.

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.
