What it was like with only Core 1 at Snowy Print E-mail

When core 2 went on expo it felt really strange having only half of the community here. It was pretty good have some space to ourselves, like having to set up half of everything for meals. When core 2 was away on expo we did some pretty good classes, like phone calls. We all had to place a call and talk about the School for Student Leadership. Mr. Brown and Mrs. Francis were pretending to be other adults and tried putting on different voices to trick us. It didn’t work as we could tell by their voices it was them. We also had presentation skills, where we had to present a topic of our choice to a group of people. We only had 15 – 20 minutes to prepare our speeches. Blake’s presentation was about friends and Chloe’s presentation was about gymnastics. We had lots of fun while core 2 was away but we are glad they are back 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.
