Student Voice - Student Representative Council (SRC)

Welcome to Chatswood Public School's Student Representative Council (SRC). Our SRC comprises of a group of dynamic and dedicated students who are elected by their peers to represent the student body.

Our main aim is to foster a thriving school community by celebrating the vibrant student voice and leadership within our school. We empower our students to become confident leaders, compassionate advocates, and agents of positive change.

 

Congratulations to Our Newly Elected SRC Members!

We are delighted to announce the newly elected members of our Student Representative Council. Their commitment, passion, and dedication to serving our school community are commendable, and we have full confidence in their ability to lead with integrity and make a positive impact during their tenure.

Student leadership

Student leadership helps young people find their voices, participate in decision-making, and understand their rights and responsibilities as active citizens. It helps students have a real impact on their learning and school environment and prepares them to participate meaningfully in their community.

Students can be leaders in the classroom, through their actions in the playground, through their support for others, or their involvement in academic, sporting, cultural or local community events or projects.

Student leadership at our school

Students don't have to be school captains or house captains to be considered leaders. We encourage our students to be leaders in the classroom and playground, through their support for other students, or their involvement in academic, sporting, cultural or community events and projects.

There are ten elected positions of leadership in the school and nominations are open to all Year 5 students. They are:

  • School Captain - boy and girl
  • School Vice Captain - boy and girl
  • Prefects - 3 boys and 3 girls

We also have sixteen elected leadership positions for the sports houses:

  • Sports House Captain - 1 boy and girl for each of the 4 sport houses
  • Sports House Vice Captain - 1 boy and girl for each of the 4 sport houses
