The School for Student Leadeship is a Victorian Department of Education and Early Childhood Development initiative that specialises in leadership education for students in Year 9.

There are three campuses. The Alpine School located at Dinner Plain in the Victorian Alps. The Snowy River Campus near the mouth of the Snowy River at Marlo in east Gippsland. The third site, Gnurad Gundidj in Glenormiston near Camperdown in Victoria’s Western District. Yarrawonga College P-12 (Secondary Campus) has had students attend all three of the campuses and in 2009 was the only Victorian school to have students accepted into the program for three terms. Students that are selected live on-campus at the school for a term and complete a range of educational and leadership activities.

Students apply to attend the programs through a process that links their application to a proposed Community Learning Project (CLP). The CLP is the curriculum thread that runs in an adjoining and continuous manner throughout the program. Students symbolically are wedded to their projects, which aim to deliver an action outcome of their learning into their home communities. Over the past three years Yarrawonga College P-12 (Secondary Campus)) has been involved in a range of projects that include:

• The creation of a community cookbook in conjunction with Warrina Hostel 2007
• Development of a mental health brochure in partnership with Mental Illness Fellowship of Victoria  2008
• Healthy Eating School Promotion  2009
• Development of a Healthy Eating Breakfast Program;  2009  and
• Construction of a School Vegetable Garden  2009

Yarrawonga College P-12 (Secondary Campus) would like to publically acknowledge the generous financial support of Thales Australia for this program.
