Justin and Lilian's Team Time Surprise Print E-mail

Hello this is Justin and Lillian; this is our first time writing a blog so it might be a little rusty…

On Wednesday we were student leaders for the day, we were a little bit intimidated having to stand out the front of the class and order everyone around for the day… But during the day things went better and ran smoother.

We had to have a video conference with other SSL schools. It felt a bit weird but it was alright because it didn’t go for very long. We had to speak for the others because their microphone wasn’t working so we couldn’t hear any of them but they could hear us. We felt pretty proud of ourselves doing that for others that we didn’t even know.

Justin’s goal for the day was to keep our group focused and less talkative in classes. “Yeah it went pretty good everyone behaved well and we had fun throughout it also.”

Lillian’s goal was to get everyone to help out packing away the bikes after bike riding. “It went really well, everyone packed them away and I didn’t have to ask them.”

Our community goal was for every expo team to dress up into a different theme for dinner. “We both thought it went really well, it was really funny to see, and we even have a photo of some people that were dressed up as a ‘pink theme’. It was good to see all the groups communicating with each other and having great agreements, we think our goal was achieved and it was the best one yet!”

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.
