Gnurad-Gundidj The School for Student Leadership

Talisha - During my time at Gnurad-Gundidj I learnt so many different things. Most of which were leadership skills. During classes we would learn about the 9 learning concepts that we had. They were Respectful Relationships, Empathy, Resilience, Collaboration, Learning strategies, Environments, Health and wellbeing, Emotional Management and Identity. While learning about them we also had lots of opportunities off campus. Some of them included surfing, stand up paddle boarding, Expos which were a big challenge both mentally and physically for most people and our treetops Adventure that we did as the last activity before we left to come home as well as so many other activities. My favourite activity would have been the treetops adventure because it got me out of my comfort zone and doing something I probably wouldn’t normally do. A highlight that I would have would be the friends I made. They made the experience so much better and we all got to learn about where they were from and the different lifestyles that everyone has. We also got to learn about everyone’s different cultures and where they were born. The friends I have made here I will have forever. The memories that were made with them while doing this will also stay forever.

Kady- My time at Gnurad-Gundidj The School for Student Leadership was the best experience I could have wished for. At the start I had my ups and downs and wanted to go home but now I'm super sad that it is over. I have grown in the 9 learning concepts that they had which were Learning Strategies, Emotional Management, Resilience, Identity, Empathy, Respectful Relationships, Collaboration, Health & Wellbeing and Environments but all together as a person. I had the best experience, I am sad it’s over but I’m forever grateful to have had the experience. My highlight of the term was meeting new people and bonding with them. It really taught me what true friendship is like Gnurad-Gundidj and everyone I met will be my favourite memories and will last a lifetime just like the friendships I made here will last a lifetime.

Liam - My time at Gnurad Gundidj was amazing. I got to take up many opportunities as in surfing and tree planting. I enjoyed all these activities as they were all outdoors and I was able to really get out and try new things.
