THE new Student Representative Council (SRC) team at Bulahdelah Central School officially commenced their duties last week.
Team members were democratically elected to their positions and will represent their year group in issues relating to the school.
“I am honoured that my peers have confidence in my ability to represent them,” Year 10 student Molly Perry said.
“Being part of the SRC will also provide a stepping stone on the way to achieving my leadership goals,” Ashleigh Dorney added.
As part of their new roles, the team will act as a voice for their peers, undertake fundraising for school equipment and charities and host events, including discos.
Team member, Liam Garemyn, who is commencing his third SRC term, said their priorities for the year include working towards installing filtered water drinking fountains in the playground and the introduction of Eftpos in the school canteen.
“I enjoy being part of the SRC because you can have a say and make a difference in things that happen in the school,” Liam told News Of The Area.
Coordinating teacher, Ms Georgina Cunich, said she is looking forward to a productive year.
“The SRC gives students the opportunity to voice and share their ideas, make decisions and work on projects as a part of a team,” she said.
“We have many new representatives this year who I am sure will bring new ideas to the group.”
The SRC is made up of students from Years 7 to 11, with primary captains also taking an active role.
