Student Leader Time Print E-mail

Hello all,

My name is Jai and I’m at the School for Student Leadership, - we are at the Snowy River Campus. Yesterday I was student leader with Lucy from Nhill College. In the morning we video linked both the Gnurad & Alpine Campus’s. Students from all campuses introduce themselves to everyone, say an interesting fact about their hometown, their community goal and their quote of the day. Our microphone was broken so we wrote our information down on a white board accompanied with pictures. It’s good to be student leader because you learn valuable leadership skills and styles such as an autocratic leadership style, or a more relaxed one. All in all it was a very good day.

Hi my name is David and this my second time as student leader. My goal was to get everyone to learn their numbers in Spanish for headcount and I was afraid that it wasn’t going to work out but I started teaching everyone how to say it and at the end mostly everyone said it right so I was very happy.

I was a bit sacred because I saw how others were doing it and it seem to be hard but this time it was so much easy and bit by b it I am building my confidence and I bet you next time it will so much easier. smiles

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.
