I feel very fortunate to have been given the opportunity to work at the Alpine School Campus. It is located in a very special part of the Victorian Alps and the team of staff who I work with are all committed and highly capable. They too, also share a love for the outdoors and their local environment. Working with students from across the State, brings a range of life experiences to the school, whether it be from a country or city perspective, our students are all very special.

I have found my place at the Alpine School, working in the mountains, with talented, motivated young people who continually surprise and inspire us all. The best part is the community spirit, the camaraderie, the life-long friendships, the jokes, the good times, the sad times, and the fun of doing everything together. The learning that takes place here is truly transformational.

Anthony PikeIt'd be fair to say that I feel incredibly lucky to be part of the team here at the Alpine School. I'm relatively new to the teaching game, having completed my Post-graduate Diploma of Education at LaTrobe University Wodonga in 2004, and to have been given the opportunity to work here after such a short time within the educational system is an honour.

Stephen Curtain Print E-mail
Steve CurtainI have a strong and deep connection to the Australian Alps developed through many outdoor trips, photojournalism, filming and education. Its stark brilliant winters, snowmelt-fed rivers in spring or the breathless vistas from a high-point in summer are the experiences that inspire me and in turn inspire me to share with young people.
