My First Surf Session Print E-mail
Term 3 - Surf Session

On the 31st of July my expo group went out surfing. Our first lesson for the term. A lot of our group had never tried it so it was all a new experience for most kids.

One of the first things we learnt how to do was how to ride a wave in and how to keep the board in control.  I managed to get myself caught in a small rip but needed help getting out of it. We then learnt how to stand on a board. By the end of the session we had a few successful people getting to their feet. Finding the right time and reading the waves was a bit of a challenge. It was all about timing and finding what was comfortable for you. One thing I struggled with was the salt water trying not to take in too much. By the end of the session a lot people were tired. Overall experience of surfing for the first time was an amazing experience and I would recommend trying it. I thank all the staff and a big thank you to the surf instructors for taking us for the first lesson and looking forward to the next three sessions. What a great 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.
