Real Highlights Print E-mail

Real Highlights by RobertHello my name is Robert Lindsay M (Lindsay is a guys and a girl’s name).

The school at Snowy River is one of the best things to ever happen to me in this life. I have made so many new friends here and the staff are all really nice and each have something individual to bring to the table. I am really enjoying the responsibilities placed upon me it brings a real sense of independence. My favourite thing so far has been doing theatre sports with Darren Mccubbin, it was heaps of fun and he got us to do a number of sports one of them was a Speed Dating game where 1 person had to guess who the people up on stage were acting as from 3 questions. I was Cleopatra and I had heaps of fun.

Another real highlight was Deb Gray she is the most inspirational woman I think I will ever meet, she has such an amazing view on life. Deb has no arms and very short legs yet she still manages everyday life just like those of us fortunate enough to have arms. There is one word that she wants changed if nothing else and that word is Disability. Deb says that it should be changed to Difability meaning not disabilities but different abilities. This school has been awesome and it’s only half way gone.

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.
