Barrels of Fun Print E-mail

Barrels of fun exploded on Friday morning, 1a and 1b had thinking and learning. We learnt about how a range of different people can all apply their individual thinking methods to accomplish what they set out to achieve.

In the afternoon, we had LLP and prepared what we were going to teach the primary school students on LLP day in the coming weeks. 2a and 2b had surfing which was totally gnarly. They all caught some waves into the shore and had a great time.

In the evening class we watched a movie called Off the Rails which was about a man called Tim Cope who undertook a huge bike ride across Russia, Mongolia and China. The struggles that they went through on their adventure were absolutely inspiring for all. After watching the movie we all felt like we could do anything.

Overall, an excellent day!

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.
