Some Boot Scootin Fun Print E-mail

Hello! My name is Meghan and I was student leader yesterday.

The highlight of my time here so far would have to be the bush dance night. What happened was, everyone dressed up in their flannies, jeans and boots (girls did their hair in piggy tails and had eyeliner feckless) and went into the common room for a great time of boot scooting and laughs. It was loads of fun dancing around, getting tripped over by the people behind us and laughing at how ridiculous we all looked but no one cared because we were all having fun. The night was a huge success and we all had heaps of fun. Before we went to bed, we had a go at the nut bush just for fun, plus everyone’s brain hurt from trying to remember all of the dance moves we just learned. I personally loved it because it was the first time I’d danced properly in about 4 weeks. I miss my dancing but this was a good alternative.

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.
