Celebrations & Relaxation Print E-mail

Yesterday was a very exciting and relaxing day; it was mine (Nicholas’) birthday. The cake was absolutely amazing; it was a Chocolate Ripple cake. Yesterday Cassie and I also had relaxation, which has got to be one of the best classes while up here. We got to learn how some yoga poses and even did an activity where we lay down and essentially shut down the physical side of the body but the mental side stays awake. It was a really eye opening experience for both of us.

Celebrations with a Delicious Birthday Cake

In the night class we had passports which was quite a slow going but productive class we both got quite a bit done of our passports. With this being our second time being students leaders we found it quite a lot less stressful than last time, it was a lot more comfortable speaking in front of the school and doing the HDTV meeting was a lot more enjoyable.

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.
