SRC 2019

Student Representative Council 2019

A few weeks ago, I invited expressions of interest to students interested in being part of Lilydale High School’s Student Representative Council (SRC – a group who should represent the students and promote their views and their participation in school decision making).

 

I was overwhelmed with the response and our first meeting consisted of over 20 students, ranging from Years 7 to 12.  All of these students expressed a keen interest in our school community and a willingness to be an active contributor in our school.

 

After our initial meeting, students in the senior year levels were given the opportunity to apply for positions of responsibility within the SRC. These positions included; President, Vice President, Secretary and Publicity Officer.  Those students interested in applying for these roles were required to write and present a speech to the SRC members and I.

 

All applicants presented themselves confidently and expressed a passion for our school community, our local community, youth issues and other global issues. Every student who applied could have capably fulfilled any of these roles.  

 

After hearing all of speeches the entire SRC team voted and the following students were elected for the official roles:

 

President: Lily Black

Vice President: Asheigh Damon

Secretary: Keira O’Connor

Publicity Officer: Nyssa McConchie

Publicity Assistant: Blake Tennant
