Sophie's IDEARR Print E-mail

Today at the start of IDEARR we read the letters that we wrote to ourselves at the beginning of the term. Many things have changed since writing the letter as I no longer feel anxious about being around the other 44 students. I have learnt so many skills on leadership and I have made heaps of new friends. There is only 3 more weeks left of my time at the SRC and out of these weeks I'm hoping to learn more about myself and others and I'm also hoping to become better friends with everyone here. A goal that I have for these next weeks is: To push myself to become a more tolerant leader and team member.

This weekend was Visiting Weekend so yesterday at about 9:10 am, my family came and picked me up. We had a great time and some of the things we did were go on a small cruise on the lakes, go to the beach and go swimming. When I saw my family I felt very happy as I had missed them. The only challenge that I had this weekend was saying goodbye again, because I felt a bit sad. I didn't have any particular highlight as I had fun the whole weekend.

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.
