Reflection on Parent Visiting Weekend by Taylah Print E-mail

Hi my name is Taylah; I was a student leader on Saturday and Sunday over parent visiting weekend.

I was so excited to finally see my family after five weeks of being separated and so grateful that my family made the effort to come up and see me. It felt a little bit strange and overwhelming being back with my family but I was also disappointed that I only had a short amount of time with them too.

In the short time I was with my family, we went shopping in Lakes Entrance and enjoyed each other’s company while watching Toy Story and playing charades. I also took some of my work and showed my family that. It was lovely to talk to them and hear what had been happening at home. My family noticed that I had changed a lot, which made my mother cry. She then told me she was very proud to call me her daughter.

It was upsetting to have to say goodbye again but I’m only here for four more weeks, so I am going to make the most of my time here.

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.
