Core 1 Caving Print E-mail

SRC students ready to go down into the caves

Today Core One travelled to Buchan to go caving. It was an early day. We had to leave at 8 am rather then the normal 9 am. The drive in was long and some of us (or maybe just me) started to get restless but after about an hour we got to our destination.

My group went to the wild caves first. This meant we had to put on our very dorky, but secretly cool CFA overalls. During the experience there were some tight squeezes including the letter box, a very small but wide area where we literally had to crawl on our stomachs downhill and through the optional wombat hole. This was really only about the size of a head with a small spot for your shoulders to squeeze through.


Some people were a bit scared about the thought of caving, some people found it to be very claustrophobic and it pushed them way out of there comfort zone but we all supported each other and every one had a great time.


After the wild caves we swapped with the other group and headed to the Royal Cave. This is the show cave and we went on a tour to see all the stalactites and stalagmites. It looked so amazing.
It was a really great day and we were all tired when we got back to SRC.

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.
