Laura and Josh Report on Day 12 at Snowy Print E-mail

Today, 2A and 2B went surfing.

After we had packed our bags and travelled down to East Cape Conran, we were met by two surf instructors. They taught us how to stand properly on the board, how to correctly carry it to the beach, which waves were best and they also were there to help us correct any mistakes we were making, which would cause us to face plant heavily into the beating waves. As it got later into the afternoon, the waves turned massive along with the huge thunderstorm, and so the most of us ended being sucked under into the swell over and over again. Nether the less, we were very persistent and a few of us managed to stand up in the foamy water.

All in all, it was a fun day and we can’t wait to go out and improve our skills over the next few weeks. After we all got back from the beach we all had showers and then got ready for a guest speaker named Tony who was from Bairnsdale police. She was from the sexual harassment unit. She spoke to us about what happens in sexual harassment cases.

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.
