Alyson is ... Having an Amazing Time! Print E-mail

So far at SRC I’ve been having an amazing time, we’ve been doing things like hiking, caving, surfing and biking. Where I’m from you don’t get many opportunities to do these sorts of things, so, I have been having a great time with all these new experiences. The most fun I’ve had so far was caving, we got really muddy and I had to rely on my team mates a lot seeing as I got quite claustrophobic. But, with their support I got through and over all I had a fantastic time.

Living here is very easy. The cooks are lovely, the teachers are generous, understanding and kind. Also, the other students are all amazing people. It’s as if I am living with all my best friends. I get up at 6:20 every morning and my day starts, I’m very used to it now and this was today…

My first class was photography; David Tatnall came in to teach us how to use a mechanical SLR. It was extremely interesting and I loved taking photos when you have to do all the settings yourself. I get the photos back next week and I’m excited to see how they turned out. Afterwards I had surfing and enjoyed myself heaps, I got knocked down quite a bit and managed to just stand up, I’m not the best surfer but it’s very entertaining. I love bonding with ‘Down Hill’, they are all great people and I’m glad I met them all.

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.
