Quote of the Day

"It’s impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well have not lived at all- in which case you fail by default."
~ J.K Rowling

Motivation Monday

ABILITY ​​​- is what you capable of doing
MOTIVATION- determines what you do
ATTITDUE- ​​determines how well you do it

Everything I do at this school I want to remember when I leave. I want to make decisions that my future self will thank me for. I have been staying positive all week and I will continue to do so throughout this week. My proudest moment would be that my design was voted for the front cover of the t-shirt. This made me feel really good. I was glad that almost everyone liked it and voted for it. It felt amazing. I think what made me feel better is that I put so much effort into it as well and did my very best to make sure that each icon represented someone, someway.

This week has a good start because I am motivated to finish expo and come back delighted ​and pleased to of gone way out of my comfort zone. I’ll be full of pride to tell my mum that we completed one expo.

Today’s Classes Am/Pm

​Today we did the same thing for both classes because we need to be ready to leave at 9 am tomorrow for expo. This day was to prep us for expo. We went through everything we needed and everything we didn't need. I got rid of a lot of things which made my pack much lighter. I was kind of worried that it would be too heavy. I'm not stressing as much now because I know it’s something I can overcome easily. No pain, No gain. I have never been camping in Australia in the bush, only glamping. This is going to be a Marvelous experience. Hopefully I will see lots of animals.  We set ourselves some goals. My goals are to work on my community engagement. We also set a group goal to become a better team using G.I.R.L.S.

G-getting to know each other
I- independence
R- respect
L- leadership
S- socializing

Today we also started to pack food for tomorrow and Wednesday. We went over who was carrying what. I realized that we use so much food just even for a small amount of us. Tomorrow we will just need to get the things from the fridge and our snacks. A positive of this class was mixing up tent partners so that we can mingle! A minus of the class is that I didn't get the main roles I wanted for expo but oh well. I will try to be one of them next time. An interesting thing about the class was the order we pack our gear in the bag. ​​​​​

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.
