Classes of Fun - Student Leaders Eddie and Aidan Print E-mail

Yesterday Eddie and I were the student leaders for The Snowy River Campus.

The best activity that we did yesterday was the half day bike ride. We went all around Marlo except for the main street. Our other activity was CPR it was fun because we got to muck around with manikins that only have half a body. We had to blow air into their mouths for the CPR challenge.

Yesterday for evening class we had a Water Filter Activity. Our task was to build a water filter with the supplies from the shop and clean and filter the dirty water. But there was a twist! There were six countries you could be: Australia, New Zealand, India, Indonesia, Vietnam and Ethiopia. Depending on which country you came from would affect how much money you got, how readable the instructions were and how much particular items cost. We (Eddie and I) were both put in Australia which put us at the advantage because we were given $1000 and readable instructions. Although the items cost more for us we still managed our costs well because we had a lot of it. Our water filter went ok but I believe we could have completed the task a little bit better if we had communicated better, slowed down for a minute and thought a little bit more about the task. Overall it was a fun activity that was easy to get involved in.

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.
