Surfing at East Conran with Georgina and Will Print E-mail

Today 2B headed down to East Conran for our second surfing lesson. Many of us were determined and excited to stand up on the board again and carve up the waves. For some of us, it would be our first experience of standing up. The waves weren’t as big as last time, but they were still great for beginners.

We began by doing our usual stretches (focussing on our arched back) before hitting the water. With the help and guidance of surf instructors Pete and Phil, and Mr Dooley, some of us caught a few waves while also Mr. Dooley carved it up. None of us complained about the cold and stayed warm in the awesome wetsuits, although when we first entered the water there were a few squeals. Mr. Dooley was eager to get many snapshots of us surfing on his GoPro camera, just another way to make these memories last a lifetime. We had an awesome day. We enjoyed surfing and it was good to see that deep down everyone was a natural surfer.

Overall we had a radical time and can’t wait to hit the gnarly surf again.

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.
