Adam - First Time Student Leader Print E-mail

Joel and CassieMy name is Adam and today was my first day as student leader…

Today I was student leader with Sarah, and we started the day not very well, I was late to the morning meeting, but it all turned out alright. SRC hosted this morning’s video conference with Alpine and Gnurad. Gnurad’s microphone wasn’t working so they had to write everything on their board and we had to read it. The Alpine students seemed very nice and we shared our community and personal goals and interesting facts about where we’re from.

For the morning class 1A had Beliefs and Values, so they got to go off and have arguments with each other. 2A and B had LLP (Local Learning Project). LLP is an activity where the students from SRC get to teach upper primary kids something about Gippsland. Our group chose to show the kids how to make damper. In this morning’s class we figured out what we would need and how we would run the presentation, we only have 20 minutes to do it in.

This afternoon 1A had GPS navigation, so they got to walk around the campus to find different check points. This sounded really fun and I would have liked to give it a go. 1B got back from their expedition at about 3:00 this afternoon, and they had a really good time out camping. 2A had the half day bike ride, and they rode on different tracks around the area. 2B had CLP 1, and we all worked on trying to get our master plan finished, as it has to be done by parent visiting weekend.

Today we had heaps of fun being student leader and we’re having a great time being here!

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.
