Student Leaders Brynn and Shannon Print E-mail

The day we were student leaders we had a very busy day. In the morning we had Barry Heard come in, he was a war veteran and a book writer. He spoke about is experiences in the war and how it changed him, he also talked about his 3 books and why he wrote them. He was very interesting to listen to and we all really appreciated him coming in a talking to us about everything.

For lunch we did something a bit different, because of all the poverty in all the less fortunate countries we had to get into little families, eat on the ground and eat the amount people from those countries ate which was only about 15 grains of each, there was also 4 people that got to get a 3 course meal and got waited on which were the rich people. This really taught us about how lucky we are and how things should change so there aren’t people that are starving or have nowhere to live, or just struggling. Over all the day was really fun and we got a lot out of the 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.
