Today Was a Busy Day All Round Print E-mail

We had 1B; the only group on campus doing First Aid in the morning, we split up into pairs and taught everyone else how to handle different sorts of painful accidents that may occur to people around them. We also had passports in the afternoon.

Whilst on campus we did a few jobs like putting away all the surfing gear for all of core 2. For morning tea and lunch the lucky teens on campus enjoyed saladas with a range of toppings and amazing toasted sandwiches made by Ms Pascall and Jess. 1A set off on their adventure, a 3 day expo of walking and canoeing. They will be doing around 30km in the 3 days. This includes 2 nights out in the wilderness fending for themselves. And last but not least we had all of core 2 hitting up the Buchan Caves.

In the evening, core 2 had a big class on metaphors with Ms Beck and 1B had passports in their rooms or common areas. Overall, we had a great day which everyone on campus seemed to enjoy.

Nick and Nikita of 1B

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.
