Speaking for a Cause - Conor and Elly Print E-mail

Yesterday we were the student leaders; we had safe food handling and Barry Heard for the day.

Today everyone passed there safe food handling test so we all now have certificates for that. Barry Heard, a writer, came in to speak to us about his story. It was a very inspirational and moving speech; he talked about from when he was a young child and how he grew up, to when he went to war and his life after war. Barry has written three books and all have been award winning. With all of his books he received many thanks especially from the veterans of the war. He is giving some of the earnings of the book to a hospital in South Africa so the hospital can have electricity. He was selling all three of his books yesterday to us and lots of people were interested in getting one. We all enjoyed the day very much and learnt new knowledge.

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.
