Student Leader Reflection Print E-mail

Yesterday we had a great day as Student Leaders as it ran smoothly and we were early for every class. Everyone looked like they enjoyed the enthusiasm that we showed in all our Headcounts and classes. We mixed things up a bit by doing Drop Everything and Reflect Read (DEARR) outside on the nice green grass. At dinner we gave everybody a card and they had to find their pair so they could sit with someone new. We also trying mixing up Headcounts by making it a rap song but that didn’t really work out. Our community goal was to clean up after ourselves and not leave things lying around. We did well because there weren’t cups left around outside and the south courtyard was left clean. Our personal goal was to stay focused throughout the Indigenous walk and get down lots of notes. I achieved this because I learnt a lot about the women and men’s business and how they survived in nature. We both got down heaps of notes which helped us with our passports.

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.
