Canoeing with 1B Print E-mail

Term 3 - Canoeing with 1B

On the 11th of August, 1B went out canoeing along the Yeerung River. Majority of the group had had some sort of experience at canoeing, but there were still a few that had a lack of knowledge. With help from the others, we were all able to successfully paddle along the all the way to the mouth of the river, but only after being taught a few major skills. Although challenging the whole team was able to get through it and enjoy the day. We all kept a positive attitude even when it got tough and kept giving it a go. 1B kept supporting and encouraging each other which showed how much good teamwork we have.

We ended the day with capsizing. Everyone had a go, and although some enjoyed it more than others, due to how cold the water was, we all now understand what to do if we were put in that situation.

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.
