The SRC has had a very busy term trying to get ready

for all our upcoming events. It’s week 7!. In other

words, 4 more weeks left until Term 1 Holidays.

Previously this term we have held our SRC induction,

our first SRC meeting as a whole and started planning

the events for each term.

The SRC induction was a successful feat, with a

multitude of students receiving their badges and sitting

their first meeting on Wednesday of Week 5 of after an

amusing icebreaker of ‘Priest of the Parish,’ the SRC

collectively discussed and decided on this term’s

activities surrounding a farmer’s challenge for the Blaze

Aid (set to ensue on 20th March) and a disco. Students

involved with the organisation of the Farmer’s

Challenge, namely Hamish, Harrison, Tyson, Jessie,

Chantal, Amelia and Jordan, have been busily creating

posters expected to be placed around the school – so

remain alert for any adverts. Below is the SRCs plan for

the activities to run each term:

Term 1 -Farmer’s Challenge (Blaze Aid)

We have decided to run a day where all proceeds will

go toward Blaze Aid. Blaze Aid is an organisation that

has been going around fire affected areas to help

farmers rebuild fences and to get their farms back on

the right track. We as an SRC feel that this was an

important cause that our school should get behind.

Disco

The disco is going to be a fun outlet for students to

relax and enjoy themselves in. The SRC thought that it

would be fun to organise and get people involved in.

Potential shade for the basketball courts

At the end of last term, the basketball courts got very

hot, we decided that as an SRC the potential of having

shade put over them. We found that this would be very

expensive and put it on hold till this year. We have

decided that we would still like to go ahead with trying

to get shade put over the courts and look forward to

seeing the project complete.

Term 2 -Trivia Night

The SRC has decided to run a trivia night in Term 2 for

the students . We thought it would be a fun event that

everyone could participate in.

Term 1 Week 7

School Fete

The school fete is an event that is run every two years. As

the SRC we thought it to be important that we participate

and help out in as many ways as possible.

Term 3 -R U OK Day

The SRC runs an annual R U OK day to make sure that our

student body is ok. We believe that it is an important day

to have for the mental and physical wellbeing of the

students at HCS.

Jeans for Genes day

Each term we have tried to plan to have an event that let

the students have fun but also put money into an

important cause. This year in Term 3 we have decided to

do a Jeans for Genes day where students will be able to

wear their jeans to school for a donation, all proceeds will

go to the foundation.

School Musical

The Musical is an event that the school runs every second

year, as the SRC we thought that we would try and help in

as many ways as possible to make the event a success.

Term 4 -Water Activities

At our planning day in 2019 we decided that it would be

very fun to have a day that everyone could enjoy. It was

decided that this could be a water day, students and

teachers would be able to have a fun afternoon on the oval

filled with water and games.

If you have any ideas or queries to bring into the SRC

concerning potential activities, changes to the school or

just pure questions, don’t hesitate to talk to either of the

Captains or SRC members. All – if not most input is

welcome.

And finally, a brief word to all our fellow students

struggling with school (as Timon from the Lion King so

eloquently put it): “Look, kids. bad things happen, and you

can't do anything about it. Right? Wrong!” When you’re

sitting at your desk, struggling with learning, make sure you

take in every word know what you can do to achieve your

aspirations, no matter what!

Regards,

School Captains, Priyanka and Charlotte.
