Adventures So Far Print E-mail

My name is Jack and I am from Maffra Secondary College and I have been here at SRC for 2 weeks, but to me it feels like 2 days.

Time flies when you are here and so much happens, already I have learnt so much. Already 2b, Maffra and Sandringham, have completed Bridge Building which was a lot of fun but took lots of time and thought to get to our goals but that was good. We have also had Expo Skills which is preparing us for the many hikes to come. For another we had canoeing which was one of my personal favourites because we got to go down Christmas Creek which was AMAZING. We have also completed our intro to bikes which involves learning how to ride the bikes appropriately and safely which was good because now everyone has access to the bike.

We have also had small things happen along the way such as getting our laptops, starting our passports and we have also made a great start on our CLP’s. This is only the beginning to the great journey we are all going to take part in.

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.
