SRC Masterclass

Episode 6: SRC Activities

SRC projects and 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 students feel heard and valued.

Your homework (optional)

• Think about your SRC’s activities in relation to Hart’s Ladder, ensuring they are inclusive and student-voice focused.
• Canvas whole school community to involve them in the process of deciding your SRC’s activities.
• Ensure SRC members take the activity ideas to the principal or executive for approval and sign-off.
• Enhance student learning by inviting representatives from charities to speak to the students about the causes they support.
