LLP Prep and Basket Making Fun Print E-mail
Rebekah and Ashleigh

Rebekah: I was student leader yesterday for the first time. We got to meet with the other students leaders from the other campuses. I thought that was really fun. In the morning I had LLP and we were preparing for Marlo primary school visit. In the afternoon, I went on the indigenous walk. I thought it was very interesting to learn more about the indigenous culture. They showed us how to make baskets and spears. Being a student leader is a challenging job.

Ashleigh: Yesterday was a fun day because in the afternoon Mardi-Lee and I made paper maché turtles for our LLP and we got to chill in the shed while listening to music. In the morning core 2 had the Indigenous Walk and it was interesting to learn about their culture and we even got to make baskets which was pretty cool. It was my second time being student leader and I found it easier this time because I actually knew what I was doing.

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.
