The Last Few Days with Boston Print E-mail

Hello my name is Boston and I am one of the bloggers today. The last couple of days have been really fun we have done snorkelling, CPR and indigenous walk where we learnt about the Gunai/Kurnai and today we had a half day bike ride to Marlo. It is really good being here and getting to learn in the outdoors. The food here is really, really good and apparently it is the best of the three campuses.

I love it here because it gives me a safe habitat to practice my leadership and other things as well. Two nights ago was probably the best night class which was when we had a student led activity (1B) and they had a talent show and quiz game. It was good because some people who performed I didn’t know they could do what they did and it changed my perspective on people. Then with the quiz it was really funny with some of the questions and how some people answered them. Something bad though is that we are halfway through this experience and it is going really fast and most of us don’t want to leave because it is too good here. But we are still happy to have the experience.

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.
