Day 6 at Gnurad Print E-mail

As our students start to settle in, there have been a number of different classes designed to challenge them indifferent ways. On Tuesday, we had “Teams Day” where we split up the students into their expo groups (two schools) and ran a variety of teamwork challenges, both inside and out. As well as this the students have gone to Framlingham, a local Indigenous Community to learn about the traditional uses of our land; been introduced to the bikes; and learned a whole range of things about living in a small community environment. Over the coming days we will be doing some more teamwork challenges such as ‘Bridge Building” and “Expo Skills”, so look out for some more photos from them.

Cheers, Mikel Dyer.

Day 2 - Students quickly settled in. Print E-mail

Students awoke to a glorious morning on Day 2 with a low misty fog on our eastern views from the dining room. Some students went for a run, others took photos, ate breakfast and then did some duties.

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.
