A Big Rush - Jaymie-Lee Print E-mail

Well... for my first blog, I have so much I want to talk about but that would take a bit so...

My highlight for the last week would probably be surfing. It was our second lesson and it was AMAZING. The waves were massive and we just caught wave after wave. When you caught one an even bigger one would come crashing down and you would be like “Arghh I should have waited”. But with the rush going through us we couldn’t possibly wait. I caught a few waves and managed to stand up but I have a bit more practise to do. The funniest moment was probably when I was about to stand up and then Mitchell came next to me and our boards collided. I had a good laugh about this. Also another funny moment was when Cassie nose-dived.

It was great and I can’t wait for our third lesson so we can go surfing on rest days.

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.
