I would like to congratulate all the SRC on a brilliant meeting everyone was listening well and we had a great game at the end.

The survey results were really helpful because we now know what all of the students in Colonel Light Gardens want the SRC team to focus on improving.

Last Friday, the SRC executives went to the GRIP leadership conference. We learned how it is important to have integrity and we can do this by being a strawberry not a watermelon. Being a strawberry means we are always doing the right thing even when people are not looking, as well as being the same on the inside as we are on the outside. Being a watermelon is the opposite, and means you pretend that you are always doing the right thing (pretending to be a strawberry) even though you are doing the wrong thing. Obviously, a strawberry tastes the same on the inside and the outside, but a watermelon? (Ever tried eating the green part of a watermelon?) A watermelon tastes VERY different on the outside to the inside.

Just a heads up for all the SRCs and teachers ( or anyone that would like to know) in odd weeks the meetings will be at 12: 15 and in even weeks they will be at 11:15.  Also the meeting we just had at 2:15 is not a permanent time, it is just a make-up-meeting for when we were at the GRIP leadership conference.

See you @ 2.15 for our meeting today.
