What is an SRC?

SRC is short for Student Representative Council. Bradshaw has an SRC so that the students have a say in how their school is run.

At the beginning of the school year each of the Year 3 to 6 classes elect two SRC members for the year. These students attend weekly SRC meetings where students' concerns and interests are discussed. The SRC members report to class meetings where they talk to their class about concerns and tell them about SRC decisions. Members also make regular visits to the Transitions to Year 2 classes to discuss student issues.

What it takes to be an SRC member...

SRC members are elected at the beginning of the year from the Year 3 to 6 classes. Any student can nominate to be on the SRC. Students who nominate make speeches and election posters. Each class votes for one boy and one girl to be on the SRC.

Students who wish to be on the SRC must be responsible, stay on task and care about our school and fellow students.

What the SRC does... At Bradshaw the SRC organises fundraising activities to support different charities. Each year we have a Mother's Day and Father's Day stall, where we make and sell gifts for the students to give to their parents. The SRC also runs the school socials twice a year. The socials are held in the school's assembly hall. The evening starts with a Jun ior School session and is followed by a Senior School Session. Members of the SRC are often called upon to conduct the whole school assemblies. At these assemblies the SRC give out various awards, for example most attractive classroom and the "Tidy Territory" for the cleanest area of the playground.
