First day on the job Print E-mail

Yesterday I was Student Leader with Bo. It was my first time being student leader and so in the morning I was a bit nervous. But throughout the day I just relaxed and knew that everyone else had to be a Student Leader at some point, so I didn’t need to worry.

In the morning, Core 1 started off in our school groups working on our CLP –Community Learning Projects. I currently go to Eltham High School, and our CLP is called H.E.A.T, or Healthy Environmental Active Teams. We are going to a local Primary School to teach them about all these attributes, and how they can improve health in their bodies, minds, and in the environment around us. This went really well, and now we have a pretty good idea of what’s going on and how we’ll run it. After that, we had Passport, and started off learning about NAIDOC week and different Aboriginal cultures around Victoria. Most of us went onto Criteria Three (Indigenous) and worked on getting it done, as Criteria Three is one of the hardest.

Overall, my first time as Student Leader was really positive and successful, and I am looking forward to the next time I get to do it.

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.
