Yesterday was a fairly average day at Snowy; everyone was doing something different.

1A headed off on the second Expo, 1B had First Aid and CLP, 2A had Water Watch and 2B had Peer Skills and CLP as well.

1A

The Expo group had brilliant weather to start off the 3 days with. The sun was out and shining and it was warm, not hot, and not cold.

1B

1B went over the basics of First Aid. During our time here at Snowy River Campus, we will take part in 3 First Aid courses; the first being CPR, the second basic First Aid and the third is scenarios. At the end of all 3 classes, we will receive a certificate in First Aid.

2A

2A went on Water Watch all day. They watched videos on the rivers, and then went to Orbost to test several separate bodies of water for pollution.

2B

2B had Peer Skills, where we learned how to deal with conflict. We had several activities in which we discussed and learnt about different ways in which we can deal with disagreements.

In the afternoon, 1B and 2B both had CLP, where we worked on our community learning projects. Each team used the time well and got a large portion of their CLP’s done.

In the evening class, we watched the film From Little Things Big Things Grow, which was about an aboriginal song writer telling history through his music. It was a very interesting and powerful movie.

All in all, yesterday was a busy day for the students here at Snowy River Campus.

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.
