Student Representative Council (SRC)
2021 STUDENT REPRESENTATIVE COUNCIL MEMBERS
What is the SRC?
The Ipswich State High School prides itself on the involvement of all year levels having influence in the running of the school. Our Student Representative Council has elected leaders from all years, forming the student voice and allowing all members of the school to be heard.
There is a Junior Secondary and Senior SRC that combine to form one voice. The Senior SRC is made up of two School Captains and two Vice Captains, prefects for a range of different positions and a House Captain for each House. These positions are changed dependent upon the student's interests applying. The Junior Secondary SRC structure mirrors these positions except for the school captain roles.

What do they do?
First and foremost, the SRC are students. Their job here is clear; be the best they can be. Emphasis is put on each student succeeding in their chosen pathway, be this academic or vocational. There are regular meetings where whole school issues are focused upon and the SRC organises key initiatives.
The SRC is also responsible for various fundraising events, both in and out of school. Students will take part in community events, giving up their time and energy to participate in events such as Park-To-Park and the ANZAC day march.
What is the SRC legacy?
Each year, the SRC leave the school with a legacy. This is decided by consulting other students and various staff members, including the Principal. In 2019 we saw the introduction of four new cold water bubblers for all students to enjoy. Each legacy that is left aims to make The Ipswich State High School a better place for students and staff.
It is important to explain that the success of the SRC would not be possible without the support of the parents and teachers as well as the students who are in these roles.
