2019 ANNUAL REPORT | GREEN POINT CHRISTIAN COLLEGE
FROM THE STUDENT REPRESENTATIVE COUNCIL _________
The Primary School Student Representative Council is a wonderful opportunity for students from Years 1 – 6 to: • serve the student body • grow in leadership skills • learn how to participate in a formal meeting • make decisions based on evidence or constructive argument Through the SRC, the entire student body can participate in the decisions and operation of the school. Classes make suggestions and representatives personally make a difference. Representatives have commented on being excited to have an opportunity to be a leader. In 2019 we voted for a garden, provided equipment for play, made suggestions about line markings for Primary School play areas, ran the Anti-bullying campaign, and resolved minor issues raised. The SRC ran a poster competition in Term 1. The winning posters were announced and displayed on National Anti-bullying Day, 21 March. The SRC Councillors decorated the school with the colour orange in celebration. It really is a privilege to be involved with such a motivated group of students who wish to make achievable improvements to our school. Some Year 6 Councillors comments are below: “It has been inspiring to listen to the wishes of the school community.” Hannah “SRC is a fantastic opportunity to bring about change, for example we are getting a sensory garden.” Zachary “It is cool working with the class representatives to make our school a better place.” Tirzah and Milly Nicole van Wyk SRC CO-ORDINATOR (PRIMARY SCHOOL) 21
