2 people from each year. 4 or 5 from year 12. It's a joke.

 

[^CoSMic DoRiS^^]

2 boys n 2 girls from each yr, plus a fair few from yr 12, dunno how many. And i agree, it is a joke - just a popularity contest, at our school anyway. Though bein captain would be cool

Same here. It's pathetic.

In year 10, I lead a group of 60 students to overthrow the SRC. We stormed the science lab where the meeting was being held, and I took control for three hours, until the school demanded that the previous, unelected body be restored.

The SRC at my school was extremely involved with student affairs - especially when the Opposition group under my leadership took up issues of OH&S, bringing in WorkCover and groups like that, and standing up to the school on disciplinary issues for certain students.

I think the biggest issue we had was about using student funds to donate to charity, or to spend improving conditions for students. Obviously we didn't have the money to do structural work to our school, but I believed that things like establishing a students' common room, installing ventilation in changerooms and toilets and other such things were more important than Stewart House and other such resume-pampering charities. Unfortunately, my opponents who held office (despite being in the minority) disagreed, so monies went all over the place.

In my belief, spending money on students would encourage the school and community to also contribute to make the school a better place for students - and after I graduated from high school, they eventually Did fix all the problems that I had highlighted.

^nice move stalin.

Serioulsy thought that's a pretty cool achievement. Our SRC tried to get rid of "PR" personal reading, ten minutes after recess each day in which everyone has 10 minutes designated reading in a certain room. In which the "Cool Rebelious" (malicious sarcasm intended) people play with their phones and distract others anyway. Back to the point, the staff didn't even consider abolishing it. The run a peer tutoring program in which they get year 12s to volunteer and help year 7 and 8 kids to read.

yeah they made us do that in yr 10. *bleh* i volunteered cuz it meant getting out of normal roll call, but man the reading program sucked. The kids were nice, heaps friendly and all that, it was just the teachers who ran it who were complete idiots oh well we showed them he he...actually we didnt *sigh* but i wish we had. lol

Yes. A pathetic joke. Useful for making connections with local media and political figures though.

 

[fakingtheday]

Is there a legible reading for one to WANT to make connections with those people? Well in coona?

 

[roadcone]

[DaddyK]

My mate is in it but he never gets elected for anything or gets to do anything, not that hes a bad bloke, just because alot of people think if they look at him he'll gouge there eyes out. Hes known as a bit of a army slash death metal music slash weapons fan.

 

[snoopy05]

last year, we only had 1 yr12 SRC member.
this year, noone i think, im not entering anymore,
src give no significant changes to school, so why bother pretending that you're making a change when all that you do is sit at a meeting room doing jack shit.

 

[soha]

You never know...

 

[DaddyK]

Maybe you might want a media person to cover a story on how you tried to eat 10 cheeseburgers in 3 minutes?

 

[mimiian]
