13 Days Ago ... Print E-mail

13 days ago, 42 students made their long or short journeys to the SSL.
Their parents said their sad goodbyes but the students didn’t really dwell.
They settled into their rooms with their roomies that they hoped didn’t smell.

We had class every day and the teachers are good throughout,
So we were all pretty much all dead by lights out.
We had debates with Darren McCubbin,
about things that we didn’t know about.

We have all made so many friends,
I bet we will all be horribly sad when it ends.
Here we can’t keep up with any of the newest trends.

On day twelve in was my turn to stand up,
I was student leader and made sure everyone would turn up,
Everyone was so happy that we could have milo in our cup.

I was confident and stood up tall,
With Georgia, I would not fall,
In the morning the boys went and played football.

All the food really makes us drool,
If you miss the seconds you feel like a fool.
The only thing this place doesn’t have is a pool.

But we all just love the beach,
Which Ranger Pete was really good in his speech.
We all headed off to bed,
The teachers came in and then we read.
We cuddle up and rested our head,
Wishing we all had our big ted.

So tomorrow we could do it all again

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.
