Lachlan's Day - On Campus

My School for Student Leadership (SSL) experience at the Snowy River campus has been both an enjoyable and memorable experience. I have experienced a number of fun, interesting and challenging activities. My favourite activity so far has been surfing. We went surfing down at the local beach and it was good fun to get in the water and enjoy it with everybody else. The waves weren’t big and were great for the beginners in the group. I managed to catch a few waves and ride some with my good friends that I have already met here.

During our time here we will be planning or Community Learning Project (CLP), a project that we will implement when we get back home in our community. Today our team from Sandringham made really good progress towards our CLP which is to create and artistic mural focussing on the theme of diversity in culture. Whilst we are here we will have to plan out how we are going to undertake our CLP which should be really exciting. I’m only under a quarter through my time here and can’t wait for the next adventure to take under my wing.

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.
