MEET THE SCSC SCHOOL CAPTAINS

For 2026 Sienna N, Finlay M, Hunter L and Taitum M have been named the school captains of Surf Coast Secondary College.

A main focus of the college captains this year has been helping Surf Coast Secondary's student representative council (SRC).  Initiatives have included designing new boards for our house points, creating new clubs for student engagement, promoting student involvement in scientific fields, along with many more. The SRC provides students a chance to have their say and provides the opportunity to develop their leadership and teamwork skills. The SRC aims to build the confidence of its members as they help manage events and aid the school to flourish.

Sienna strives to be a friendly and confident leader, aims to have an impact on the school values, and to leave a long lasting impact on the school. She loves seeking feedback from peers and making our school community a more positive place. Her main goals as a leader are to have a positive environmental impact, start a newspaper club, and join voices together with a school choir. While outside of school Sienna enjoys musical activities like singing and piano, and plays basketball.

Finlay drive to become a captain is to make a meaningful difference for his peers and leave a lasting impact on younger students. He is motivated to strengthen connections within the school community and improve the overall environment for everyone. As captain, his goal is to create events and initiatives that future students can continue, ensuring his work has a lasting legacy. Outside of school, he is passionate about sport, long-distance running, golf, and travelling with his scout group on adventurous trips.

Hunter's main focus as a captain is the voice of students. She wants to give everyone an opportunity to share their ideas. She wants to show that to be a leader you don’t have to be the loudest in the room but someone passionate to help make change and express ideas. Her goals are to increase engagement and spirit through sporting, cultural, and academic events. As well as promoting involvement in math and science subjects. Hunter enjoys playing netball and spending time with loved ones. 

Taitum wanted to become a school captain to develop her leadership skills and make a positive impact by encouraging more girls to pursue STEM. Her goal as captain is to inspire greater female participation in these areas. Outside of leadership, she enjoys reading, playing soccer and hiking.
