learning contributes to wellbeing".

STUDENT VOICE
Student Representative Council - SRC
At East Torrens Primary School, student voice is a cornerstone of our vibrant school culture. Our Student Representative Council (SRC) serves as a crucial platform for student expression and decision-making, ensuring that every student's voice is heard and valued.
Elected by their peers, SRC members play a pivotal role in representing their classmates and conveying important issues discussed during regular classroom meetings. These representatives are also part of focus groups dedicated to key areas such as the school environment, attendance, and learning. This structure empowers students to actively participate in shaping their educational environment and fosters a sense of ownership and responsibility within the school community.
Executive Leaders
At East Torrens Primary School, our Year 6 Student Executive members exemplify leadership and dedication. These students, who applied for their positions, play a pivotal role in leading the Student Representative Council (SRC). They are instrumental in ensuring that student voices are heard in school matters.
As leaders, they actively participate in decision-making processes, providing valuable insights and perspectives. Beyond these responsibilities, our Student Executive members proudly represent East Torrens at official functions and events, embodying the values and spirit of our school community. Their commitment and leadership inspire their peers and contribute significantly to the vibrant culture of our school.
