One of my highlights was bridge building, where we made a bridge that all of us could stand on. Another good experience was going to Mount Noorat and learning about the cultural significance. - Jessarne

My highlight from the past 2 weeks here at Gnurad was organizing to go canoeing on our first rest day. I also really enjoyed going to Demo dairy yesterday and getting to pat cows and make butter. –Renae

My highlight over for the time so far has been bridge building. I liked sliding the logs out on the water, and watching the bridge come together. We all agree the most interesting class we’ve had yet was thinking and learning one. We all learnt about our brains and what quadrants we fit into. On Friday we leave to go on our first expo trip and we are all very excited. We think it will be fun to get off campus for a night and enjoy bike riding.

Our quote we think that fits our team this week is: ‘Adventure is worthwhile in itself’ by Amelia Earhart.

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.
