I was inspired about SSL when Michael (my old principal at Derrinallum and now my new Principal at GG) told me all about it. It sounded amazing. What a great opportunity for year nine students and for teachers as well. I attended a similar programme when I was in year 9 and know the benefits it holds for this age group. |
