Year 12 SRC Report

Written by SRC President, Sarah M

We are writing as the Year 12 representatives of the SRC (Student Representative Council) on behalf of our cohort. Over the past few terms the SRC have been very busy discussing matters relating to the students at the college, ranging from casual clothes days and Ignatius Day activities to new additions in the Year twelve common area.

Every term the SRC hosts a casual clothes day with the support of a gold coin donation from each student to raise money for those in need. This term, our casual clothes day took place on the 27th of August, raising money for The Sexual Assault and Family Violence Centre, tying in to our College motto ‘To Love and To Serve’ which encourages the school community to lead through service.

Last Term, the College hosted our annual ‘Ignatius Day’ to celebrate the Feast Day of our patron saint, Saint Ignatius of Loyola. On this day of fun activities, the SRC were in charge of the Dunk Tank where students were permitted to throw balls at a target that would release teachers into a pool of water. This was all in good fun and we are grateful for the teachers who volunteered to take part in this activity.

Approaching quickly is our VCE Lecture Series, a group of sessions designed to prepare Unit 3 & 4 VCE students with the resources they need for their upcoming exams. This will be taking place in the first week of the school holidays between the 21st to the 24th of September and it is expected that students attend for their subjects. This program will also act as great revision for the practice exams in the following week. For more information on these lectures please visit the College website or social media pages.

In our next SRC meeting we are hoping to discuss the implementation of more microwaves in the Year twelve common area. Students have shared that it would be beneficial to have extra microwaves to heat their lunches as the kitchenette is often very crowded with all the year twelves. This is something that we as the SRC are able to advocate for and cooperate with community groups such as the PFA (Parents and Friends Association) as a means to better the experience and wellbeing of the students at the College.

The SRC are always open for students to share their concerns and contribute to improving the College for the students to come. We are here to help the students and listen to what they have to say.

Thank you.
