Term 4 - 1A Surfride

The other day our expo team went for a surf down at Warrnambool beach, when we got there we met Jack and Chris who were our surf instructors. They fitted us up with a new set of skin that was too tight and we all looked goofy and then they gave us blue Rashies which made us all look the same, once we had grown to our new skin we went for a jog and a stretch as a warm up so we were ready to take those gnarly waves head on.

We were taught how to get up on the board and we were off like rocket I couldn’t wait to get in and hang ten but instead I face planted with style. I eventually got the hang of it and it made the day awesome I can’t wait to do it again.

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.
