Boort SC - Media Release Print E-mail

Term 3, 2016 - Boort SC Media Release

Hello everyone! It is Zailey, Molly, Kaitlyn and Rory, giving you the first update.

We decided to focus on a single day of the week, we had Bridge Building first up. One of the less successful bridges to be constructed sadly. The construction part was very good, but during the photoshoot, one of the supporting logs had other ideas. Such as breaking at its base, making lots of people wet, and making an interesting before and after of two images! Later that day, we had our first dress up night. We were meant to come dressed in our sports gear, boys came in their finest tiny shirts and shorts. Some came in suits and skins, others borrowed sports bras from girls! Molly and Rory dressed in their cycling attire, Kaitlyn dressed as an 80's inspired sports model and Zailey came in her normal sports outfit, skins and a shirt. We participated in activities, including a spelling bee and a fitness instruction video, with a very over the top instructor!

I hope we gave you a bit of insight into how our second week at Gnurad Gundidj has been. We hope for more weeks like this to come. See you all later!!!!!

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.
