Glen Eira College- Student Representative Council (SRC)

The Student Representative Council (SRC) is the voice of GEC — we listen, work with, and assist our fellow students and teachers to make our school a better place for everyone. It is a learning experience for the students involved — they learn the inner workings of the school, how decisions are made, and how to achieve meaningful change.

The SRC provides students with the leadership opportunities they need to flourish and to feel they have a voice. The SRC is an active member of the school community, negotiating with school leaders to make a difference. When you’re looking at an SRC student, what you’ll see is organisation and teamwork at its finest.

Issues likely to be discussed at SRC meetings are:

• Problems, concerns and opportunities that students have/want and which need to be discussed by the School Council. (An example of this is the discussion of fundraising events such as Cultural Diversity Week and International Women’s Day).
• Letters and requests from various organisations.
• Any fundraising that is seen as important to the school.
• Organising and running leadership workshops

Any student interested in joining the SRC must attend regular meetings and abide by the established rules. SRC involvement presents an incredibly rewarding experience, as students have the power to present ideas that become a reality.

Anyone can join the SRC, and we believe that everyone can make a difference.
