Grace's Ripper Time Print E-mail

Hello I’m Gracie I currently attend Snowy River Campus but my home school is Koo Wee Rup Secondary College.

My time here so far has been amazing and I’ve only been here 18 days. I’ve been surfing, hiking, canoeing, bike riding. Today I went on a 16km bike ride - it was good... well it beats walking up sand dunes. I dislike sand dunes.

I have also have done Thinking and Learning, CPR, I got my Safe Food Handling certificate, and a whole heap of other classes but no math or English … it’s so good.

I get up at 6:30am and we have a headcount at 7:30 then classes start at 9. We have 2 classes and a night class so we get a lot of free time and we also get heaps of food and it’s really good food. We have good food because we have happy chefs.

We do duties such as lunch set up, dishes, moping and bathrooms. The duties are fun, I know surprising right, a teenager saying they like duties what is the world coming to. We also do our own washing and I clean my room every day because it’s a small space, I like to keep it clean.

Well we will see what tomorrow brings bye.

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.
