SRC Report

Term 1. A new school year, new students, new teachers, and new classes. The beginning of this term has brought about lots of changes in the school and for us as the SRC, well.. our calendars are jam-packed with school events and initiatives to create positive change within the school.

For new parents and students, the SRC is a large group consisting of eight student leaders from each grade, led by eight “executives” from Year 11. As a school without prefects or school captains, being an SRC member is certainly one of the most rewarding and enjoyable leadership positions that Fort Street High School has to offer. The main role of the SRC is to voice students opinions and drive change. We also hold fun events throughout the school year, such as the Rose Drive, which will be held this term on 19 February.

The SRC’s annual Rose Drive is an event where students are able to purchase roses for delivery and can write messages on cardboard hearts to attach to the roses. The roses and messages are then distributed and sent to friends, teachers, and significant others on February 19th. It’s an incredibly wholesome event and a big hit within the school. We are currently selling the roses in the lead up to the event and we’d like to thank all the students and teachers in advance for participating in this exciting and fun event!

The SRC has also been busy working in conjunction with the school’s P&C Association to successfully run the uniform stalls. In the summer holidays, SRC members came to school to assist with the uniform fittings for incoming year 7 students. In addition to this, we have also coordinated the successful in-school second-hand uniform stall – raising a significant amount of money for the school through sales! We hope that this success will continue in the next second-hand uniform stall, which will be on during lunchtime on Friday 26 February.

Our SRC team hopes to be able to continue to work closely and collaboratively with other committees and associations at the Fort to help drive positive change.
