Today, we had a Rest Day. Print E-mail

Rest Days at Snowy River Campus are always exciting because there is always something different to do each week. There are different activities to undertake and get involved in. It is also a rare opportunity just to rest and relax whilst here.

Today, we had several activities to take part in.

The first was a mountain bike ride. A number of students took part in this, and rode through some pretty spectacular and muddy terrain. Everyone seemed to enjoy it though.

At morning tea, Chris and Aidan organised for a movie and popcorn morning. We watched Kicking & Screaming. It was a great way to relax and unwind.

In the afternoon, a group headed down to the beach to do rock pooling. There was this massive rock pool but none of us could go in it. There was also a baby seal which was all alone and looked so sad. It was good fun and a great way to get outdoors on a rest day.

Another group of us, in the spirit of Kicking & Screaming, decided to play an impromptu game of soccer, organised by Aidan and a few other boys. It was great fun. Everyone who participated had a great time.

There were others who just relaxed, played on their laptops and did washing throughout the day, which is also a good way to spend the day.

This is just an average Rest Day at Snowy River Campus; full of fun and excitement!

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.
