My Highlight - Andrew P Print E-mail

My name is Andrew P. and yesterday I was student leader with Mary S. It was an interesting responsibility; I had to keep the whole community under control. It is not as easy as it sounds, I kind of feel sorry for all of the teachers here now.

Student leader was a fun experience but it wasn’t the highlight of my time at Snowy River Campus, my highlight was expo. Expo to most people is the biggest pain in the neck. I guess I’m not like most people. Expo in my eyes was a time for me to really step up and do absolutely everything that I could do to help my team. I grew a lot on expo, I didn’t think that I would actually be able to hike 14k in the space of 48 hours. I never thought that I would be able to spend a night in a tent and I never thought that I would ever be able to take on as much responsibility as I took on expo.

My Highlight - Expo!

The new people, the new friends, the new atmosphere is something that I will never forget. I never want to leave this place and at the moment I’m trying not to think about the end of the journey but in the back of my head I know it is creeping up on me and I can safely say for sure that the last day of this term will be the saddest day of my life so far.

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.
