High school is tough. Let’s be honest. From waking up at 6am, wearing the same uniform every day, to spending afternoons studying for tests instead of hanging out with friends – it’s a challenging routine.
But for me, my perspective on high school changed when the Student Representative Council (SRC) was created.
The SRC gives students a voice, the opportunity to pitch ideas, establish events, organise charities and create clubs, and not only make a difference to their schooling experience but others’ as well.
Over the years, the council has sparked the interest of more students, bringing even more ideas to life like Non-Uniform Day.
Finding Confidence and Community in the SRC
The SRC has not only provided students with the opportunity to make a difference but has also given them the confidence to pursue their ideas and passions and let their voices be heard.
When I was in Year 7, I didn’t have the confidence to pitch my ideas, to try to make a difference.
But, after seeing all the work the council had done, and seeing students like me make the school better, I knew it was my calling.
I’ve been a member of the SRC for three years now, and I haven’t regretted a single moment of it.
