Student Fundraising
PRIMARY SRC
This year has been an amazing year for the SRC (Student Representative Council) at our school. As SRC members, we have worked really hard to raise money to improve our school and make it a better place for every student. We are super proud to share all the awesome things we have been able to purchase this year because of the fundraising efforts. It feels great knowing that we have helped make school more fun, comfortable, and interactive for everyone! MINI WHITEBOARDS AND MARKERS One of our very first big purchases this year was over 700 mini whiteboards and markers! We bought enough so that every student across the College could have their own whiteboard and marker for Literacy and Numeracy mini lessons. These have made learning so much more interactive. Instead of just listening or writing in their books, students get to write, draw, and solve problems on their whiteboards and then show their answers to the teacher. It makes lessons more fun and helps us all to learn better. Plus, it’s really handy because now every student has their own marker and board, so we don’t have to share and wait!
NETBALL BIBS FOR PRIMARY TEAMS Another fantastic purchase was two complete sets of netball bibs for our Primary netball teams. These bibs look so amazing when we wear them with our Primary sport uniform. They make us look really professional when we go to compete against other schools. It’s great to feel like part of a team, and having the right gear helps us play our best and feel proud of representing our school. FIDGET TOYS, WOBBLY CHAIRS, & BALANCE CUSHIONS We also focused on making classrooms better places to learn by buying lots of fidget toys, wobbly chairs, and balance cushions. These items are really helpful when students need to focus but might feel a bit restless. The fidget toys help some of us keep calm and concentrate during lessons. The wobbly chairs and balance cushions are awesome because they let students move a little while they work, which helps us pay better attention and stay engaged. These resources have been really popular and used all the time! LAP DESKS FOR FLEXIBLE SEATING We bought more lap desks so students can choose to sit on the floor if they feel more comfortable during class. Sometimes, sitting at a desk isn’t the best for everyone, and the lap desks give us the freedom to change how we learn. Flexible seating helps students feel more relaxed and ready to learn, and it’s been great to see how many students love using them.
WOODEN OUTDOOR BENCHES – OUR BIGGEST AND BEST PURCHASE! Our biggest and best purchase this year, in our opinion, has been eight beautiful wooden benches for outside. The students at school said they wanted more outdoor seating, and we listened! These benches have been a huge hit and are used every day. Students love sitting on them to eat lunch with friends, chat, or even play games on the tables. It’s made our outdoor areas much more comfortable and inviting. We feel proud that we could make this happen because it really makes the school a nicer place to spend time. STUDENT VOICE AND CHOICE All of these purchases were made because of student voice and choice. As SRC members, we visited every year level and surveyed students, asking them what they wanted inside and outside the classroom for 2025. We made sure to listen carefully and bring their ideas to life. We believe student voice is so important because it means the things we buy really help the students and make a difference in their everyday learning and playing. FUNDRAISING EVENTS Of course, none of these purchases would have been possible without SRC fundraising! The SRC students have worked super hard to organise and run many fun fundraising events throughout the year. Some of the highlights include Crazy Hair Day, Footy Colours Day, Harmony Day, Easter Raffle Day, and Winter Woollies Day. These events were not only fun for everyone but also raised a lot of money to support our school.
We loved seeing all the crazy hairstyles on Crazy Hair Day and the colourful footy jerseys on Footy Colours Day. Harmony Day was special because it celebrated all the different cultures in our school community. Easter Raffle Day was exciting because so many people participated, and Winter Woollies Day was great for keeping warm and raising money at the same time! LOOKING AHEAD TO 2026 We can’t wait to organise even more exciting fundraising events next year! Being part of the SRC has taught us a lot about teamwork, leadership, and the importance of working together to make our school better. We feel really proud of what we have achieved this year and hope that the things we’ve bought will help students for many years to come. Thank you to all the students, teachers, and families who have supported our fundraisers this year. Without your help, none of this would have been possible. Together, we are making our school a better place for everyone!
