Billie's amazing time at Snowy River Campus Print E-mail
Billie's Photo

So far I have had an amazing time here at the Alpine school at the Snowy River Campus. I have made so many new friends and everyone is really friendly and getting on well. The teachers here are all really nice, funny and caring and they are all interesting to talk to.

Today I was student leader with Jack P and it has helped my public speaking skills a lot. My highlight of being here at Snowy would have to be surfing. It was so much fun and I had a great time catching waves. I have had so many excellent opportunities such as canoeing, bridge building and the Marlo challenge and I am really enjoying my classes.

I had a beliefs and values class yesterday which was one of the best classes ever, I leant so much from it. We have had three birthdays here so far and we got fantastic cakes and slices to celebrate.

I have been getting up in the mornings at 6.00 and exercising which is good because it is making me feel healthier. I am looking forward to the half day bike ride tomorrow and the expo next week. Two other groups have already done the expo and they said it was really good except the weather wasn’t very good because it bucketed on them and made it harder.

The food here is really good and the cooks are both lovely. I was really exited late last week when I got my first parcel in the mail, and I have gotten so many letters from my family and friends. I am having a great time here and I don’t think I want to go home! Even though I miss everyone.

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.
