Student Representative Council

Comprising students from Years Seven to Eleven, this forum affords all students a voice within the school.

This is the peak student governance body in the school. It consists of up to twenty five elected members, four from each year, two representatives of new students entering years 8-11 and ex officio members.

Students may apply for the positions of SRC during the nomination process in Term 2. 

A total of 4 students per year group will be chosen during the elections. The roles of SRC President and Vice – President will be chosen from the Year 10 applicants.

All positions will be announced at the School at an assembly and the SRC elect will be inducted at the SRC Induction Ceremony. SRC members sign a contract, which details the work, roles and responsibilities and behaviour expected for the position.

Duties and responsibilities will commence in Week 1, Term 3, relieving the current leaders of their responsibilities. SRC members are expected to set and uphold a high standard of behaviour and exceptional academic performance.

The main activities of the student representative council (SRC) include

  • Developing an annual action plan based on the decisions of the school leadership

  • Implementing and delegating tasks to the houses

  • Co-ordinating the agenda for the school leadership conference

  • Considering matters presented by each house captain
