Our Parents Come to Visit Print E-mail

Parents Visit Weekend!!!

For the first time in about five weeks, we got to see our parents. That was really good to see our family and to have a proper talk to them about what we have been doing, what it is like here and also to hear what things are like back home, and any other things that would be happening in the upcoming weeks.

Most of us stayed at Lakes Entrance, which meant that even though you were away from the school, you still saw others with their parents on a regular basis. A few of the things that people did were going to the cinema to watch a movie, swim in the pool at the resort, have a hit of tennis and play mini golf.

I think that the first thing that people did in Lakes Entrance was go to McDonalds or KFC.

Once we had gone for a look around lakes, we headed back to the resort to just hang out and enjoy being with our family again.

Then came the time for farewell the next day, many tears were shed as the families departed, everyone knowing that they wouldn’t see their families for another four weeks.

Everyone had a really good time with their family, but now we have settled back into the routine of our day to day life here at Snowy.

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.
