Jack's Groovy Blog Print E-mail

Hi its Jack here and I’m just posting another blog about my second shot at being Student Leader. This time around I was partnered with Cassie. I found that I enjoyed it a lot more than last time as I knew what to expect and what was expected of me. I was also a lot more confident in front of the crowd as when I first took to the role of student l didn’t know everybody as well as I do now. But with that not being as much of a mental barrier I was able to be more open minded with what I thought needed to be said and was also not afraid to tell others when enough was enough.

While I was student leader I organised a community game along with Cassie, the game that we decided on was stones. A game based around the rules of capture the flag. No-one else knew the rules but after we explained it we all had a great time. A few other events that happened throughout the day include: The hunger games, a strategic game setup by Teagan, canoes were picked up and brought back to campus. But all that I did during the day was complete passport criteria and chill out. I had a great day and what made it even better was completing all my nine criteria drafts on time. With only two weeks left here at SRC I am really beginning to cherish every moment that will be spent here from now until when I leave this fantastic place.

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.
