Term 3 - Bridge Building

Bridge building was an exciting and entertaining activity that engaged the whole group in the fundamentals of teamwork. A kayak was placed approximately 8 metres from the beginning of the water’s edge. We were instructed to form triangular tripods that over time formed a bridge that would support us to the hull of the Kayak. We separated into organised teams that would focus on different aspects of the construction. After nearly 2 hours of intense work we managed to complete a bridge, two tripods and a ramp that when ordered in a sequentially accurate format would form a bridge to the kayak.

fterwards we reflected on our day and had a group conversation on the fundamentals of teamwork. We had a great day and hope to have many more like this.

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.
