Everything Exciting

Yesterday Jamie and I we student leaders for the day. We are having such an awesome time here at SSL, and everyone is getting on really well. My student leader goal for the day was to speak loudly and clearly in front of everyone, and I think I did succeed in doing that.

Every day here is super exciting and fun if you're surfing and bike riding or even if you're doing inside classes. Yesterday's classes were Thinking and learning and Intro to LLP. Thinking and learning was a really interesting class because we have to figure out what quadrant of the brain you use and then we had to figure out what side our whole CLP team was together.

In the afternoon I had LLP. LLP is the Local Learning Program it is where around 200 primary students come to Snowy and the Snowy students have to run some activities for them about environment, teamwork, indigenous culture and leadership. My group which has about 4 of us in it are doing environment, we are turning a room into an ocean room full of facts about marine animals. Which we are all really excited about.

Over all being student leader was a really fun experience for Jamie and I and we both can't wait to do it again.

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.
