The past week was full of challenges but I managed to do my personal best to be responsible for my tasks. Generally, it was a very enjoyable and memorable week.
 I went on the second Expo which was amazing with lots of water fights during canoeing and I achieved my goal successfully which was to choose appropriate time to make jokes and speak to my teammates and teachers respectfully. The team goal was also achieved. We put a lot of effort in and worked as hard as we could to be the best team we could be.

The next activity we did was caving. I learnt a lot from the excursion about how caves were formed, how old they were… The best one was that we had to crawl through some small gaps in different caves. When I met this small wombat hole, I felt hopeless because I could see the size of it was about 2/3 of my body. But unbelievably, I made it through with excitement. I got stuck when my head got in, my shoulders were a bit oversized but I pushed myself to the limit because I really wanted to go through it so it would be hopeless if I went back.
I have realised how important it is to be part of the community in SRC. The staff and friends were very supportive and easy to get along with and I am very proud that I have the opportunity to be here and I really appreciate it so I will perform my best for this last 3 weeks. To be honest, I will feel very emotional when it is the last day here and I really want to fail year 9 so I can come back here again. That’s how desperate I am to be here 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.
