TOAST and Expo 2 Print E-mail

TOAST and Expo 2

Yesterday, we ran what is called TOAST. It stands for Teach Others A Skill or Talent, and was an opportunity to teach our peers something we’re passionate about. I chose dancing, specifically Ballet, because it’s something I’m passionate about and I want others to try and experience. It was probably one of the best things I have ever done. Being in control and telling people everything you know is something I want to do. It also made it easier to learn new things as well because you know that the people teaching you are your age and have a better understanding of our generation. 
Last Wednesday we finished our last expo. It went for 3 days and we walked all the way to the top of Mt Raymond. It is something I am most proud of because I never thought I could do it. We camped in the middle of a cow paddock and canoed for 7 hours straight and our joints were in pain, but we we’re ecstatic when we reached the top of that mountain. Hopefully I can climb Mt Kosciusko with Mum now.

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.
