School for Student Leadership

The school for student leadership was such a life changing experience. The start of the programme consisted of getting to know the people that we would live with for 9 weeks and just getting settled into our home away from home. We participated in activities such as bridge building and team building activities.  I soon went on an expedition with my expo group. We went hiking and learnt basic camping skills, when we returned the next couple of weeks consisted of mountain biking, caving and white-water rafting. These experience were so much fun, and I learnt so much about myself. I faced my fears and were supported by my new friends. When I went on my second expedition the whole group practically ran the whole thing, we took on roles that helped our leadership and got to do things that we had never done before. When we returned from expedition there was some sad news as some members from our SSL family we sent home early. The final few weeks consisted of strengthening up my friendships and finishing the experience with a high. The final week was full of emotions as we reflected on the past eight weeks.
