Surfing at East Cape Print E-mail

We were all a little tired because we came back from expo the day before we went surfing but we all wanted to have a really good time. We got out on the beach and did our warm up; all the while looking at the waves wishing we could hurry up and get out there. We finally got to grab our boards and go. We started off slow but the longer we spent in the water the more energy we had. The waves were getting bigger and the wind was getting stronger. By mid-morning the waves were huge and it was really windy. We paddled in and out all whilst searching for the best wave to catch. It was perfect surf conditions with the wind coming from the shore going out to sea which held the face of the wave up so it didn’t crash as early. I think from the whole morning we all got smashed by a few waves, especially the big ones but that’s all part of the fun. We weren’t as energetic as normal but we couldn’t resist just bumming around on the beach so we had to get out there.

So far that has been the best surf session in my opinion that we have had here. Hopefully there are more like that to come!

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.
