Primary School SRC

This year, we have established our first ever Primary School SRC team at SCEGGS, with the intention of allowing our K-6 girls to have more of a student voice. The girls chosen for the team were involved in a rigorous application process, submitting a written letter, creating a poster, or a video to highlight how they would be exceptional leaders and outlining the areas in which they are passionate.

After agreeing on shared values for the team in Term 1, we decided that outstanding leaders need to demonstrate effective communication skills, curiosity about our school and its’ girls’, collaboration, and reflective qualities. Many of which align with the Primary School Language of  Learning.

To be good communicators, we shared our vision for the term after conducting a survey in our K-6 classrooms, to gain an understanding of the direction we need to move towards to create change in our school. We are excited to meet with the Secondary School SRC team in Week 4, to ask a range of questions about effective ways to action our proposals.

This term we will also write a letter to Mrs Dempsey in the hopes to create these positive changes in the school and our team of representatives will be sharing their goals for Term 2 in our K-2 and 3-6 Assemblies. We can’t wait to see which of our ideas come to light this term and see ourselves grow as leaders who can make practical changes in our Primary School on behalf of the girls in K-6.  Similarly to the Secondary School team, who actioned their proposal to add sunscreen dispensers throughout the school, we hope too, to create some practical and effective changes over time relating to areas of our passions which include taking care of our environment, raising awareness for ‘R U OK Day’ and kindness initiatives.
