LEADERSHIP AT ELPHIN

We are excited to begin Semester 2 Student Representative Council (SRC) meetings at Elphin this Term. Class nominations for Year 1-4 SRC representatives will be shared with students on Monday 9 August, with the first Semester 2 SRC meeting to be held on Thursday 13 August.

This Term, SRC members will continue supporting and building on the initiatives developed by our Semester 1 class representatives. Students will also be assisting with the donation of much needed items for our wider Launceston community to the City Mission organisation, an initiative that was first inspired by current Year 1 student Arthur Gordon in 2025. Further information will be shared with families about items to donate and where these donations can be made at Elphin Campus, next week. We look forward to continuing to make a positive difference in our community.

The SRC is also supported by our Year 5 Round Square Captains, who work alongside students to encourage leadership and service opportunities across the school.

Participation in the SRC helps students develop valuable skills including leadership, communication, teamwork, problem-solving, organisation, decision-making, confidence, active citizenship, and community service. Through representing their peers and contributing to school initiatives, students learn how their voices can create positive change.

We look forward to another Semester of student leadership and community action.
