Your Student Representative Council - your voice at school

The SRC was established at James Sheahan in 2000.  It is primarily an activity based organization to enhance a student’s time at James Sheahan and to encourage their involvement in the community.

Students are elected to the SRC on the following basis.

Year 12            2 x School Captains, 2 x Vice Captains, 6x School Leaders.
Year 11            6 x House Captains.
Year 10            2 x SRC reps - one male, one female.
Year 9              2 x SRC reps - one male, one female.
Year 8              2 x SRC reps - one male, one female.
Year 7              2 x SRC reps - one male, one female.

Elections for Year 8, 9, 10, and 11 leaders take place at the end of each year for the next year. Year 7 reps are elected during Term 1. Year 12 leaders are elected at the end of Term 3 of their Year 11 school year to replace the Year 12 leaders who are sitting the HSC.

Elections for Years 7, 8, 9 and 10 are completed by their year group.  Year 12 leaders are elected by their peers and staff.

Elections for Year 11 who serve as house leaders are completed by students in their house group from Year 8 to Year 12.

The SRC meets every Tuesday and Thursday during administration and during two lunch times over the fortnightly cycle to discuss issues concerning them and the school.  Any students may approach their Year Representative to have something raised by the SRC.

The SRC raises money through discos and other fundraising activities. This money is used to support students who represent the school in various sporting, cultural or academic endeavours. Approval of this support lies with the school executive. Concerns from the SRC are regularly presented to the executive in writing.
