Student Representative Council (SRC) -

SRC Projects

This year’s SRC are a very dedicated group of students who are working tirelessly to be good representatives for their classes and to make our school the best that it can be. During our fortnightly meetings, the students discuss things that they have noticed around our school and work together to come up with solutions that will improve our school environment. As a result of their hard work, the following school improvement projects will soon be underway:

  • new lines will be painted on the netball court
  • a basketball backboard will be installed on the brick wall behind the staffroom
  • a new netball post/ring will be installed near K block
  • a new reversible basketball/netball post will be installed near synthetic grass
  • new soft fall will be laid in the library COLA, along with painted lines for 6 handball courts

In addition to all of this, new table tennis bats and balls have also recently been purchased and are already being used during break times.

I want to commend the SRC for all of their hard work this semester. Their efforts have made a big impact and are making a real difference to our school. We can’t wait to see all of the improvements to our school next term!

Beanies for Brain Cancer Fundraiser

Last Wednesday, the SRC held their first fundraiser for 2025 – Beanies for Brain Cancer. It was fantastic to see so many students wearing their beanies and supporting such a worthwhile cause. Special thanks to Ms McCabe who very kindly donated three beanies for the SRC to raffle in order to boost their fundraising. Congratulations to Alexa (6MR), Anamaria (3XW) and Ellie (KD) for being the lucky winners.

As a result of their fundraising efforts, the SRC will be donating $456.00 to the Mark Hughes Foundation for brain cancer research. Thank you to all of the students who contributed a gold coin donation or purchased a raffle ticket. We appreciate your support and look forward to raising more money for brain cancer research next year when we hold our next Beanies for Brain Cancer day.

SRC Award

Congratulations to 3XW who received the SRC award at the Week 9 P-6 Assembly. Thank you for always using the school sports equipment safely and responsibly. We appreciate you looking after our sporting equipment so that others can also enjoy using it.

Thank You

Thank you to Doris from 5K who played the piano for the National Anthem at last week’s P-6 Assembly so wonderfully. She did a marvellous job and it was great to have her accompanying the students as they sang. If your child would like to join Doris in playing the National Anthem at Assembly, please let Mrs Miller know. All instruments are welcome!
