Student Leadership and Student Representative Councils (SRCs)

Public schools conduct a range of leadership programs. Learning to be a leader through student leadership programs is one way to participate.

 

As not everyone can be a school captain or a member of the Student Representative Council, there are many other ways to get involved and be part of the student voice.

 
 

Enviro Inspiro! 2012 is open. The NSW SRC invites students in NSW public schools to create a 5 minute media presentation and a 2 page written report to showcase their successful student-led environmental projects. Schools and student teams can win one of three major 'prizes' valued up to $3,000.

Effective student leadership practices provide opportunities for students to:

  • feel in control of their learning. This means significant input to rules and procedures, establishing learning goals and tasks, deciding how to work.
  • feel competent. This means investigating and responding to issues of survival and quality of life, solving real problems, creating real products.
  • feel connected with others. This means cooperative and collaborative learning, peer support, community linkages, mutual respect.
