Community Agreement

After a couple of weeks the students are ready to articulate how they will operate as a community and they develop an agreement to show their commitment. In an evening class, they brainstorm the types of guiding statements they would like to see on the CA and then have a few days to think about it and make any suggestions. This term statements such as the following appear on the CA. The pictures show the students each signing the agreement. This document forms a powerful tool that assists with conflicts and tensions as well as, and most importantly, help to translate our values into action.

  • Everyone has the right to be included
  • Respect others needs and wants
  • Everyone has the right to feel safe here at Gnurad Gundidj

Second letter from Gnurad-Gundidj Campus

Welcome again to the Gnurad Gundidj Campus. Here we are after more than two weeks already. Time has flown by and I am really pleased with how things are progressing at our school.

Homesickness is a normal emotion at this time in the program, although it does tend to diminish. If you think that your son or daughter is still unreasonably homesick, do call us and we can compare notes, so to speak. None of us can really predict how this anxiety may manifest itself. Our staff members really do make a priority of ensuring students’ wellbeing during these first, more unsettled weeks.

School For Student Leadership

School for Student Leadership is a Victorian Department of Education and Early Childhood Development 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 three 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". It opened for students in term 1 2009.
