Hi my name is Emma and I’m form Bairnsdale Secondary College.

Being here at Snowy is not what you expect; it is lots of fun waking up every morning on campus and having 4 meals made for you. We have to do our own washing and we have to re-make our beds every Monday night and we share duties ( e.g. washing dishes, cleaning the bathroom and sweeping the common room).

You get to know everyone very easily and soon you are one big happy family. You have your ups and downs but at 4:30 every day we get mail and it is often everyone’s favourite part of the day. We have lights out at 9:30pm and we can start having showers from 6:30am.

Every day is another jam packed adventure, even if it is an easy inside day. We have an evening class from 7:30pm till 8:30pm every day. We do many activities including surfing, caving, snorkelling, canoeing, expeditions and many more.

I love it here at Snowy and I don’t want to go back to a normal school. The cooks are fantastic and really nice and all the staff are helpful and easy to get along with. One of my favourite activities so far has been canoeing because it was so peaceful and calm and we had to capsize which was my favourite part of the day. One of my favourite classes has been relaxation, we did some meditation and relaxation stretches, at the end of the class we did a 20 min. meditation. It was great fun and everyone really enjoyed it.
