STUDENT REPRESENTATIVE COUNCIL

The SRC has had a busy term preparing for Body Kindness Month.  We have been working closely with students Belle Gavin, Natasha Rowe and Zoe Jackson, preparing for Mullets for Mental Health all year, and the big month has finally arrived.  Students have been busy interviewing staff and students, preparing videos and posters and raising awareness for this important cause, as well as locking in the reluctant, but ever positive Tyrone Ingham to take the big chop for the cause.  Students and staff alike are looking forward to their Assembly on Thursday the 8th, and the big Mullet cut in the new Southern Quad at lunch.  Please dig deep and donate to this worthy cause and show your support for Mooroolbark’s community.

The SRC has also run a very successful Celebration Stall last Friday, further raising money to support men’s mental health.  Just in time for Father’s Day, students were encouraged to decorate a mug and fill it with goodies, to give to a special friend, brother, Dad, Grandpa, cousin or uncle.  As part of Body Kindness month, Mooroolbark is dedicated to showing gratitude to those we love and appreciate.  The stall was a great success and sold out very quickly.  We look forward to further initiatives next year (and buying more supplies!) 
 

 
The action isn’t over for the term yet, with Footy Colours day fast approaching.  Students and Staff alike are gearing up for a competitive day of ‘team sledging’, as the first Footy themed Free Dress Day in years approaches!  The SRC will also be running a Sausage Sizzle at lunch to embrace the spirit, celebrate the end of term, and raise further funds for the Black Dog Institute. 
 
All these fun activities and opportunities to celebrate school spirit wouldn’t be possible without the hard work and dedication of the many SRC members.  As we look to next year, and building our new executive panel, we encourage interested students to attend our weekly Tuesday Meetings, and message President Emily Reid, or Liason Rachel Farrell for more information. 
 
Lets’ finish this term strong!
