Action Agenda Week 1, Term 4

We’re so sorry this is late!  Please find attached the Action Agenda for feedback at our meeting this Friday.

Week 1 Term 4 Action Agenda-100e8d3

As you know we have been talking about putting up the netball rings for a while now. In week 6the court just near Mortlock will finally be trialed as a netball court. If the program goes well and the court is popular the rings will continue to stay up. We hope that all the students busting to play netball finally are happy and get to practice at lunch and recess. 

 On the last day of school for term 3 we had a casual day to raise money for the make a wish foundation. From all your support we raised $713.70 which is $50 more than our last casual day so a big congratulations. 

 The SRC have decided that the $1000 raised at the disco has been set aside to upgrade the toilets. We asked everyone for ideas for what we could use it for. Keeping in mind that $1000 is not enough to rebuild every single toilet. A big problem that kids decided was that the locks are either jammed, broken or loose so we will use most of it to fix that but with any spare money we will see if we can upgrade the hand dryers. 

Week 7 Meeting Update

 

We had a great meeting today and were really happy that all but 1 class had held a meeting to discuss the items raised at our last meeting.  We got through a lot today and classes have a lot to discuss before our meeting in Week 9.  For more information and to see today’s Action Agenda, please click here.

The most exciting thing is that the SRC Execs will be running a Colonel Light Gardens got Talent competition in Week 10.  If you’d like to register, please add your name to the sign up sheet on the borrowing counter in the Library.

We’re also excited to say the last day of Term will be our SRC fundraiser to support the RSPCA.  We are asking kids to dress in blue and white (the RSPCA colours) or dress in animal theme on the day.  Please remember, if you do come out of school uniform, you need to bring a gold coin donation.

Looking toward next term, our Disco will be held on Thursday of Week 2 (2nd August).

Don’t forget to check out the Action Agenda and make sure your class votes!  We value YOUR voice 🙂

 

We’ve been busy!

We had a very busy time at our meeting last Friday and the Students asked Simone to take the following items to the teacher equivalent of the SRC (School Improvement Team)  She did that on Monday, now we are waiting to hear back from all the teaching teams.

(For all the gory  details of our last meeting click here – Week 3 action agenda)

  • Environment – Each SRC rep has been given a compost bin for their classrooms to collect organic waste each day. It is the rep’s job to empty the bin daily (this is part of their role as an SRC rep).  The green bin is around the side of Doolette closest to the lane for scraps to be emptied. in.  Here’s some photos of our team getting organised!

  • House Captains – Can we consider whether some Year 6’s be allowed to nominate for house captains as many students leave at the end of Year 6.
  • The students would also like a long run to be included in the championship events.  Is this viable or a possibility?
  • House Points – in the student survey, students voted to have more opportunities to do things in their sports team houses. One idea that we have come up with (and linked to our wish to do something to support the environment) is to split the school yard into 4 sections which each House team will be responsible for keeping clean and controlling litter.  At the end of each week the areas will be judged and an agreed amount of points be allocated to the Sports house whose yard area is the tidies.  A draft of areas has been given to teachers… To consider – who judges?  Points could be recorded on a spreadsheet so it won’t be a big time investment.
  • Nude Food Day – The SRC would like the school to participate in a Nude Food Day every week where students are encouraged to bring a lunchbox that contains no packaging. The SRC will promote it and compile an information brochure to go home to families. Are you willing to support it and which day is best?  We were thinking Friday each week.
  • Assembly – The SRC would like to bring back that each class does a yard clean on their way back from assembly.

Boy, have we been busy?  We haven’t even mentioned the discos – you’ll have to wait for the newsletter to read about that!

We had a productive meeting today.  We are happy to say these are the charities we’ll be supporting –

SRC UPDATE & MEETING INFORMATON

March, 2018

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.

FIRST MEETING

 

Our Semester 1 Representatives

Our elected student leaders had their first meeting for 2018 today.  Our reps are off to a fantastic start.  Their first task is to share a survey with their class to find out what the kids of CLG want to achieve and do this year.

You can find a copy of the survey here Student voice start of year survey-2g2e9cm

Our action agenda for the meeting is here Week 5-1fu9gxv

We’re looking forward to a successful year of student voice and leadership at CLG.

SRC VOTING HAPPENING THIS WEEK

Hi everyone,

A new year back at school means new SRC representatives that will be selected in years 2-7. At our first SRC executive meeting we came up with criteria that we think is necessary if you want to represent your class for SRC. Below I’ve listed some of the qualities that we came up with.

Organised: Being able to remember meetings and being on time, also jotting down notes and having a good memory to bring the information back to your class and teacher.

Open minded: Accepting and taking in others ideas not just your own.

Care, Respect and Safety: Showing all of these qualities to each other.

Communicator: Reporting back information loud and clear and having discussions and votes about what has been discussed in SRC meetings, also sharing your ideas in SRC meetings.

Commitment: Being fully committed and attending all meetings necessary.

We will let you know about a more concrete criteria ASAP.

Thank you!

Gracie Thomson on behalf of the SRC EXECUTIVE
