Fitzroy High School - Media Release Print E-mail

A few highlights of the past 2 weeks are; Climbing Mt Noorat; Bridge Building; Teams Day; Intro to bikes, and our movie making class. Basically the whole thing. There are things that have been quite physically and emotionally challenging, but everything we have experienced has been new and thrilling.

The most interesting class we’ve had has been our Movie Making class. We got to experience new things most of us wouldn’t have even considered back home. We got to be as silly as we wanted without being judged, and in the outside world that is difficult to find.

We are looking forward to Expo 1, Expo 2, surfing, snorkeling and rest day activities. It will be new and fun to camp out and look after ourselves in a way that is almost impossible back home.

Our favourite quote has been:
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do”- Mark Twain

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.
