Trivia Night Print E-mail

A few nights back, we engaged in a fun, student led, trivia night. We were broken up into five groups that were named after countries. Mexico, China, Egypt, Spain, and Zimbabwe. We also were tasked with the completion of fun activities regarding our allocated country’s culture between the mind boggling trivia questions for extra points. One of which was the task of creating a country mascot with 5 sheets of newspaper as our only resources.  

Last week we also set out on a three day hike with about 15kg packs on our backs which carried our tents, food and everything else that we needed. This is also known as expo. At first it sounded ridiculous and silly to walk 30km in three days but once we started it actually proved to be quite an enjoyable experience. We walked and a few different terrains such as bushlands, wetlands or rainforests, and the beach to name a few. We encounted all kinds of wildlife and even had battles with possums over food (some of which, were lost). After three days we all got back to campus in one piece just in time for a rest day.

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.
