Something We've All Enjoyed Print E-mail

The local learning project was a day long activity where the primary school kids of Orbost Primary School visited us at SRC. The students of Orbost Primary School (OPS) engaged in activities that we had prepared for them. Jacob and I were in separate teams so we had each prepared different activities. Jacob ran an informative class on whales. His segment was named “Wonderful Whales.” My team ran an activity that was named “Snakes Are Real, Hear The Squeal.” This program focused on the dangers of snake bites and how to treat a person who has been bitten. We had a small role play on how to treat a snake bite where a member of our team ran out of the bushes pretending that they had been bitten. This was welcomed by the other people in the team as they treated and informed the injured person and the students.

Overall our program went really well and the kids embraced our activities with pleasure and enjoyment. They learnt about many different aspects of the local environment and how they can respond to this information. We had a great day and got just as much out of the day as the younger Orbost students.

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.
