SRC Masterclass

Episode 6: SRC Activities

This episode looks at the types of activities that an SRC can engage in, and how these activities can have a significant impact on students, the school community, and beyond. While fundraising is often a big focus for SRCs, the episode encourages schools to look at other ideas to create inclusive, student-driven initiatives that foster authentic student voice and enhance wellbeing.

Takeaway message

SRC activities have the power to make a profound impact on the school culture. By focusing on inclusion, wellbeing, and genuine student participation, these initiatives can foster a sense of belonging and purpose among students. Whether it’s a fundraising event, a leadership day, or a wellbeing-focused project, the goal should always be to ensure every student feels heard and valued.
