Time to relax

Today Sam and I were student leaders on rest day. We kicked off the day with morning headcount as per usual and most of the students got straight into their passports. With them due in a week everyone is getting stuck into being creative and finishing of their criteria work. The t shirt committee started printing the t shirt design and getting them ready for the rest of the students. Most of the students gave it a go and learnt a new skill for the day. We worked hard until lunch with everyone doing something productive. After lunch 16 students went down to the beach for a swim to get a break from the passports and to cool off on the extremely hot day. The students that stayed back at campus watched the first ‘Harry Potter’ movie together and when the swimmers got back they watched the end too. We were each given a sunny boy icy for afternoon tea as a cool treat and then went into dear shortly after. We had a yummy tea made by the cooks. For afternoon class we were shown a movie about a guy named Tim Cope. He travelled 10’000km by bike.

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.
