Lucca and Stacey - Student Leaders Print E-mail

Lucca: Yesterday I was student leader, I really enjoyed this experience although it meant I had to eat last, with was the worst thing that has happened to me while I have been here! It was my second time being student leader and I do like it. The people here are really nice and friendly; I already dread having to go home in 5 weeks. Being student leader is a great chance to develop your leadership and public speaking skills. My favourite thing during the day was explaining to the community about relationships and touching other students. They had a good laugh and it was quite funny. At the end of my nine weeks here I think it will be very very hard to leave and I don’t want to. I think more people should go to camps like Snowy and have the experiences that I have because I love it here and I think they would to!!!

Stacey: Yesterday I was student leader and it was great! I had the chance to develop my leadership skills by having to stand up in front of the community. As student leader Lucca and myself had to read out an interesting fact about where we’re from and read out the days program. I found it easy and simple. I hope the experiences here get even better as time progresses.

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.
