Today Scott and I were Student Leaders for the day.

It was quite interesting being up the front and seeing the campus from a different perspective although 2A were on Expo 1 so it was a bit quieter than usual. 2B had Expo Prep, 1A and 1B had Thinking and Learning 1 and CLP 1.

I am in 1A and Scott is in 1B. We learnt about which quadrant of the brain we use to do most of our thinking. My dominant quadrant was green and Scott’s was red. Red is emotional and supporting people and green is being organised and liking things neat. We enjoyed comparing which colour we were with the rest of the class and finding out about ourselves.

While 2B were still busily packing their bags for Expo, we had our afternoon class which was CLP 1. We went off in our school groups and worked on our CLP’s. My school, Bellarine Secondary College did quite a bit of brainstorming while having a laugh at the same time. Scott’s school team, Colac Secondary College achieved most of their master plan which is to raise awareness of being blind and talking about guide dogs. Bellarine’s CLP is to visit the sick kids in the Children’s Ward in the Geelong hospital and put smiles on their faces.

In night class core 1 (1A and 1B) had Phone Calls where you have to call a number of a Snowy River teacher of whom we didn’t know. We had to find out a bit about Snowy and they surveyed us on how we went with asking questions and the teachers were Mr Brown and Mrs Herbert.

Overall we had a good day and enjoyed Phone Calls and being a Student Leader was fun because we got to talk to the Gnurad Gundidj Campus Student Leaders for today too. We did a video conference with them which was very fun.

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.
