Hey I’m Cassie and yesterday I was Student Leader with Jack. I really enjoy being Student Leader because I like getting up in front of crowds and talking and to be honest I did like the power. It was really easy speaking to the community from the front of the common room because after seven weeks of being around them constantly I have grown to see them like family. My goals were to complete all my Passport criteria seeing as they were all due and I completed one but to high quality.

It was a Rest Day yesterday and we had quite a few activities going on. In the morning a SRC version of Hunger Games was held and a couple of students went four wheel driving to get the canoes that were left behind from Expo. However, my whole day was spent on completing Passport criteria.

It’s sad to think that there isn’t much time left here because I have become to close with everyone here – students and teachers – and because we all live in all different parts of Victoria. I know that we’ll make the effort to see one another but it will still be hard to leave this place after nine weeks.

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.
