Our Snowy Experience So Far Print E-mail

On the night of Saturday the 14th of February, there was a market night. This is how it worked, everyone got given $50 in fake money, and some people opened stalls. People would buy items from the stalls and the stall at the end that gained the most money would be declared the winner. People did stalls involving card games, ice-creams, cookies, palm reading, dance lessons, massages, face-paint and more! It was a super fun night where everyone enjoyed themselves. We even all got dressed up in amazing business clothing! Market night was definitely my favourite part of my ‘Snowy River Campus’ adventure so far, hopefully there’s more to come.

Throughout the week in small groups we all took turns in surfing. Even though the waves were small it was still good practice and I still managed to stand up a few times! The water was chilly and it felt like I was swimming in ice! My time at Snowy River has been great so far and there is no doubt that it’s going to continue being the time of my life. I’ve met so many great people and I would recommend this experience to everyone!

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.
