My Favourite Thing Print E-mail

Hi my names Elly,
At the Snowy River Campus so far we have all had such a great time, some of us have been surfing, bike riding, on expos, bridge building and we have also completed the Marlo Challenge. Groups have been working on their team building and friendships between everyone. Today 2A, my group did Intro to Bikes, we had a range of skill levels in our group. In our lesson we did some practice before we left to go on a group ride on the bike tracks. Then we headed off down the road to understand the safety of riding on the road. We learnt to work as a team in communicating with the people at the front and the back so no one was lost or in danger.

My Favourite Thing - Bridge Building by Elly

My favourite activity that I have done so far has been bridge building, we learnt how to tie different knots to join big logs of wood together to make our bridge. There was a lot of teamwork involved in bridge building and 2A completed the task successfully collecting the treasure at that end that was in the canoe!

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.
