Matt and Jakeb's Day as Student Leaders Print E-mail

Yesterday we had Rest Day. All of the different people here had all different ideas of what they had in mind to do. Some went to play tennis and some just stayed here to sleep.

We were the student leaders for the day as well. It was difficult at first getting out in front of everyone to speak but the more we did it the more confident and the more relaxed we got.

After lunch most of us went to the beach but for the rest of us, we stayed here and listened to music and just hung out. When everyone from the beach got back, we decided to have a community game. We played 40-40 home. Everyone participated, had fun and enjoyed themselves. For some of us it brought us a little bit closer because we communicated to each other to discover where the players were whether they were "it" or not. Afterwards we had DEARR. Then after DEARR and dinner we had the evening class and we watched a film called “Freedom Ride”. It was a film about Charlie Perkins and how he revolutionised the entire view of the aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

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.
