Expo 1 with Team 1B

1B out on Expo 1

What an awesome activity! Team 1B has had a great experience climbing, riding, swimming and adventuring on our first expo. We rode on our bikes to Lake Keilambete. The camp site was close to the lake.

After setting up camp and eating lunch, we had a swim to cool down. Coming back to camp we relaxed and made dinner around 7. When we all packed up we had desert where we played a prank on a staff member, it was all Brad’s idea, but we all helped. The prank was giving the staff member a mud rumball, after they took the first bite we were all rolling on the ground laughing and they ran and spat it out and started laughing as well. That was one of the best highlights in the whole expo.Just before we went to bed Ms. Moroney announced that the potty was full! Brad was so happy because we had to dig a drop dunny, but the girls weren’t so keen.

On day two we packed up camp and rode to Mt. Noorat, where we were going to climb up hills all the way to the summit, it felt like 10 km but it was only 1km. From the summit we could see Gnurad Gundidj, what an amazing sight! Riding back, we got home just in time for afternoon tea.

School For Student Leadership

School for Student Leadership is a Victorian Department of Education 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". The fourth and most recently opened campus is Don Valley Campus, situated on land that was once known as Haining Farm in the Yarra Ranges.

Our school community acknowledges the Gunaikurnai, Bidawel and Gundijmara people as the traditional custodians of the land upon which our school campuses are 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.
