New and Enjoyable Experiences Print E-mail

Rhiannon and I (Liam) were student leaders for the first time. We found it an enjoyable and new experience for the both of us. We are looking forward to being student leaders again. There were challenges along the way.

Today we both had Bridge Building. We found this exercise to be a great team building exercise as it required immense amounts of teamwork and communication. This activity was challenging without being overly frustrating. We believe that, while some of the community are still late to classes, the majority of our peers have settled in well and are making valuable friends.

We are all having a great time here and are bonding well. The time appears to be flying by and we are all eagerly awaiting our surfing lessons. We are also learning a lot of new knowledge and skills which we hope to apply to make ourselves better people and better leaders.

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.
