Fifth letter home to Parents of Snowy River Campus Students Term 1
- 15th March 2016

Dear Parents, Guardians and Families,
Hello again and for the last time this term. Here we are at week 7, only a few days to go, and I think that students see that their time at the Snowy River Campus is now definitely finite! Four sleeps they tell us. Mind you, many students are ready to leave. There are still many important tasks for us all to attend to, and I welcome the greater independence and personal drive I witness in our students, your sons and daughters.

Thank you for contributing to the first term of the Snowy River Campus for 2016. The “Separation Phase” of the Snowy River Campus Experience concludes for the community of Term 1, 2016 on Saturday, 19th March, signalling the beginning of the “Reintegration Phase”!

Join us for our pre departure ceremony on departure day and delight in their physical, emotional and personal growth over the last 7 weeks. Every student will have a significant and important opportunity to share in front of you and all the other parents.

The ceremony starts at 9.30am sharp so please do not be late. Arrive between 9.00 and 9.30am so that you can give your child a welcoming hug and have a bit of a reunion before the ceremony begins so that they can focus on their presentation.

With every good wish on behalf of the Snowy River Campus Team,

Mark Reeves (Principal) & Robyn Francis (Campus Principal - Snowy River Campus)

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.
