Half Day Bike Ride Print E-mail

Today 1B went on the half day bike ride to Marlo. The ride was 18-20km both ways and the terrain was relatively easy. We had some monster hills though. We also had the pleasant experience, carrying our mountain bikes up multiple flights of stairs. This really hurt. It was worth it when we reached our destination the beach near Marlo jetty. The beach was beautiful the water was amazing not too cold, but cold enough to refresh you after a long ride. We all swam out to a buoy which was 100m or so into the water. The ride back was just frustrating as my chain wouldn’t stop falling off. When going up the biggest hill on the ride it happened. All I heard was “snap” and the chain teeth were ripped. After this it was a mammoth effort to get back but I made it with the support of 1B.

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.
