Day 17 Print E-mail

Hi my name is Kellie and I am from Elisabeth Murdoch College. Today is our 17th day here at Snowy!

Since we have been here we have done many things, such as bridge building, thinking and learning, Marlo challenge, surfing, canoeing, expo skill, leadership conference and many more. My favourite thing while I've been here has been getting to know everyone and getting out of my comfort zone.

Day 17

Tomorrow we are going on our first Expo and I will be getting out of my comfort zone. Being student leader was quite nerve racking at times but very beneficial at the end of the day as we got to run a class so this helped my presentation skills improve dramatically. Getting to know everyone has been great as I feel like I already have 44 new friends and everyone gets along really well! The most difficult part while I've been here is being away from your family but as soon as you get your mind off the fact that you're home sick you're fine! You just have to keep yourself motivated. I can't wait for the rest of my time here at Snowy and the things that I can learn about myself and others.

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.
