SRC / House Term 1 2026
Term 1 has marked an excited and successful beginning for the Student Representative Council. Our student leaders confidently embraced their responsibilities, setting a strong foundation for a year focused on teamwork, leadership, and meaningful contributions to the school community. At the first whole-school assembly, the 2026 Year Level Captains were formally presented, celebrating the start of their leadership journey. They also played an important role in promoting SRC applications to our incoming Year 7 students, encouraging them to get involved and have a voice within the college.
A big thank you to Positive Learning Leader, Harry Lawless for his support in conducting interviews for the Year 7 representatives and for his ongoing support working with the SRC. After a successful round of applications and interviews, the SRC is proud to announce our 2026 Year 7 Captain: Anna Veis, alongside our Year 7 Leaders: Adi Nair, Marayam Mourad, Jusef Abugalia and Cattelya Kongrung to the team. In addition, the SRC are also excited to announce Ayda Huseyin as another Visual Arts Representative and Sia Parmar & Layla Raciti as additional Environmental Leaders. The SRC continues to meet weekly, where they are currently brainstorming a range of projects and ideas to initiate throughout the year.
Term 1 has ended on an all-time high, as the SRC team brought their positive and exciting energy to this year’s Athletics Carnival on Monday, March 30th. The SRC had their own face painting stand to fundraise money for future events as well as poster designs to motivate and inspire the students throughout the day.
In addition, many of our SRC Leaders took part in the Melbourne Secondary Youth Leadership Conference at the Melbourne Convention Centre with SRC and House Leader Lucinda Vrzovski and Head of Positive Learning, Harry Lawless on Thursday, March 19th. This conference run by the Youth Leadership Academy Australia (YLAA), brought together schools from across Victoria. It truly inspired our young and influential SRC leaders with the skills and confidence to become change-makers within the school community with a range of powerful key note speakers and activities.
Music Representative Ibrahim Dalkilic captured key insights from the day, reflecting deeply on the messages shared by the key note speakers and hosts. One of his most impactful takeaways focused on what it means to lead within a school community, highlighting the importance of empathy through the following:
- V — OICE: Be curious
- I — NCLUSIVE: Provide choice
- B — UZZ: Set clear expectations
- E — NGAGEMENT: Be consistent
A big thank you to all our SRC Leaders for their participation at the conference, their engagement with the sessions, and the great energy they brought. Once again, the SRC left the conference feeling inspired and ready to take on new leadership challenges at school and beyond.
The SRC looks forwards to working together in Term 2 as they continue to find ways to strengthen student voice across the college and begin to roll out their ideas and initiatives too. Stay tuned for more exciting updates in our next newsletter!
