3rd Rest Day - Report by Nadine and Jake Print E-mail

So on our 3rd rest day a group of 22 students went to the beach and they all came back with big smiles and lots of stories about how fun swimming in the ocean was and how they were body surfing, walking along the sand looking for shells and splashing around in the shallower water. The rest of the students stayed at the campus and explored the surroundings, painted pictures and some of us and even caught up on some sleep! It was good to see everybody getting outside enjoying themselves and having fun. At about 2:00 a community game was held and we all played a massive game of gang-up chasey which lasted for a while keeping everyone entertained and giving us something to do. After the game finished there was a bit of free time before we all had to get ready for a walk to Spirit spot for DEARR. This was our second time there it’s quite relaxing, but the walk had a lot of us complaining especially walking up sand dunes. At night we watched a movie and settled down ready for bed.  The movie was The Incredibles, as soon as the movie finished everyone helped chip in to pack up the seats. This was the end of our day and everybody went to bed.

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.
