Starting the Term Off Well Print E-mail

Hi my name is Kacey, and I'm from Elisabeth Murdoch College. 

So far at the Snowy River Campus I have had a really great time. I've been surfing, canoeing, bridge building and bike riding all in a bit over a week.

Yesterday my group (1b) stayed at the campus and worked on our Individual Learning Plan and our Community Learning Project. I'd much rather be spending my day outside but I guess what has to be done; has to be done. I think that our Community Learning Project is coming along pretty well and I'm pretty excited to see what the end result is. Yesterday was also my turn to be a Student Leader. It was pretty cool to talk to people based at different campuses and hear about different experiences. My goal for the day was to be organised for my classes and surprisingly I was!

Starting the Term Off Well - Kacey and Graham

I'm Graham, from Sandringham College.

For the past week while I have been here, I have had an absolute ball. For my time here so far, I have done bridge building, canoeing, expo 1, surfing and bike riding. But I'm sure that there is much more to come!

We have started working on our passports and I’m sure that when they are finished, they will all look absolutely fabulous. I have set an ILP (Individual learning plan) and my school group (Sandringham College) has also started working on the early stages of our CLP (Community learning project).

I look forward for what SRC has to offer in the term and can't wait for all the upcoming activities in the next 8 weeks!

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.
