Daniel Out on Expedition Print E-mail

Hi I’m Daniel and I am from Swifts Creek Secondary College, I have already been at Snowy River Campus for 3 weeks but it seems like arrival day was just the other day. We have already done so many activities and there is never a dull moment here. The food is amazing thanks to Mrs Pascal and Mrs Hollaway and duties are a piece of cake.

Adventures on Expo - My favourite thing here so far

One of my favourite things here so far was expedition; we packed our packs to the brim with food, sleeping mats and bags, clothes, camping stoves, tents and other personal items. Then loaded them into the van and drove to a drop off point from which we walked along the beach for 9 kms before stopping for lunch. After lunch we walked 4 kms through the bush to our campsite. After setting up camp and cooking tea we played a few games on the beach before finally going to sleep. In the morning we ate our breakfast then walked another 4 kms along the beach before having some reflection time and playing a few games. Afterwards, we walked another 2 kms along the Yeerung River before having lunch, then we got picked up by Ms Beck before returning to school. I loved expo because nobody was fighting or arguing at all and we made some pretty great memories.

Daniel, Swifts Creek Secondary College

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.
