Bridget and Johari's Rest Day

Yesterday was our second rest day and it was a very productive day for most of us. Some people went surfing, some stayed back at campus to cook and work on passports. In the evening we had our Market Night, which everybody in the community got involved in. There was yummy food (rumballs, popcorn, ice-cream & pancakes), face painting, fortune telling, mystery boxes, card tricks, crafts, hair chalk, and hair dressing. Over all it was a very enjoyable night.

Something that I have enjoyed is surfing. I pretty much was waiting for that class since day one. On Friday I had my first surf lesson, it was a lot harder than I thought but I still stood up on the board a few times in the end. Yesterday was a rest day so me and a few others went to Cape Conran and had a surf. The waves were bigger and a lot more aggressive than when I had the lesson but I still stood up. I would say that the most fun part of surfing is wiping out. I got dunked like so many times, I thought I was going to drown but of course I didn’t. This was my first time surfing and I already Love it!!!!

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.
