Dona-Mae's Day as Student Leader Print E-mail

Yesterday I was student leader for the first time with Nick.  At first I was a bit nervous about having to stand up in front of everyone but I soon got used to it.

I think it’s really good that we all get to be student leaders because it makes you see how difficult it can be to control a whole bunch of teenagers and now I will try even harder to listen when someone is speaking. I enjoyed being student leader though even if it took a while for everyone to listen and I’m looking forward to next time.

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.
