Tayah and Keelen's student leader experience Print E-mail

LLP Day on the Way

Hey, this is Tayah and Keelen, we were recently student leaders at SRC.

What is a student leader you may ask? Well, let us explain, a student leader is kind of like a teacher for a day, we control head counts and have to make sure that everyone gets to class on time. To be a good student leader you need to have the confidence to take control of the community. Why are we student leaders? The reason we are student leaders is because it gives us a chance to gain public speaking, for us to come out of our shells and to give us a chance to know what to do in all different situations.

Our community goal was to get under 17 seconds in our dinner head count; the reason for this goal was to make sure to had our dinner on time. The reason it didn’t go so well was because people were talking and they just wanted food, this will give us a great chance to improve for next time.

Tayah: My goal was to extend my leadership by speaking loud and practicing different types of leadership; I did this by coming to each head count with a different attitude for example, relaxed, democratic or autocratic. To be democratic I had to make sure everyone was listening and being fair.

Keelen: My student leader goal was to be more responsible for myself and others; I did this by getting everyone to head count early, keeping the wings clean and trying to improve my leadership style by not taking over everything.

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.
