Responsibilities Of A Student Representative Councillor

A Student Representative Councillor holds a position of esteem and importance in the school. This honour is deserved by those students who demonstrate reliability, who are caring for others, and who are prepared to accept a responsibility on behalf of other students.

Elected SRC members take up a number of roles, including:

• representing their year levels on Student Representative Council which may involve seeking information at level or form assemblies and reporting back to those assemblies
• assisting with, and participating in, the conduct of Student Representative Council activities
• showing leadership by encouraging student participation in school and Student Representative Council activities
• representing the students of the school when requested by the Student Representative Council initiating debate in, and implementing decisions of, the Student Council

It is expected that elected SRC members attend all meetings and participate fully in the range of activities throughout the year.
