Student Voice

Each newsletter, some of our SRC representatives will share a little about what they have been doing in their role and what they have been discussing at SRC meetings. Our SRC gives students the opportunity to represent their classmates, listen to their ideas and bring their voices to our meetings.

Throughout the year, representatives take different questions and “missions” back to their classes before bringing their classmates’ thoughts and ideas to the next SRC meeting. This newsletter section gives our representatives an opportunity to share their experiences of being part of the SRC and the work they have been doing so far.

This week, we hear from our Year 2 and Year 4 SRC representatives.

Year 4

Every few weeks we have an SRC meeting to discuss what we can do to help and to share everyone’s voices. We get missions to take back to our class. We ask our class for their ideas, write them in our SRC book and bring them back to our next meeting.

Our first mission was about what is working well at Sacred Heart and what would make Sacred Heart even better. We took the task back to our classroom, asked our class the questions and brought their ideas back to our next SRC meeting.

Our second mission is about what makes us feel safe at school and what would make our school even safer. This is our current mission and we will repeat the same process we used before.

We enjoy helping others and making people feel heard.

From Chloe and Miesha, 4B SRC 

Year 2 SRC

We got picked to be SRC representatives by popsicle sticks! We bring back missions to our class about how we can make Sacred Heart even better and how we can help everyone feel safe. We like being SRCs because we like making our school a better place and helping other kids in our school.
