Maitland Area School

The Junior SRC is the student voice for the Junior School and is made up of 2 representatives (a boy and a girl) from each our classes, R–6. These representatives are elected at the beginning of each Year by having a class vote. 

We may self nominate or be nominated by our peers.

Years 3–6 have to write an expression of interest saying why they believe they would be a good role model and representative for our class.

The Year 6 representatives are the Junior School Captains. Their responsibilities include chairing the SRC meetings, reporting on Junior School activities at whole school assemblies, welcoming visitors to our school and liaising with Mrs Hector and Mr Gravestock when we have to. 

The SRC meets on a regular basis, the first few meetings dedicated to learning how meetings are run and electing the different office bearers.

The Year 4–6 representatives attend the National Young Leaders Day in Adelaide where they listen to various speakers who explain how to be a good leader. These speakers include athletes, authors, radio and TV personalities, executives and politicians. During the year the SRC runs various fundraising activities to raise money for different charities and to purchase items that the Junior School would like.
