​The SRC Executive: Our Student Leaders

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The ten students who form the SRC Executive are important leaders in our school. They bring skills, talents, commitment and ideas to the task of promoting the voice of all students F-7.
This week they undertook training to learn more about Leadership skills, improvement processes and team work.  During this training the students reflected on what they wanted to achieve over the year. They focussed on how they could improve the physical, social, interpersonal and learning environment at Ardtornish. Watching these students interact and discuss their role was inspiring as they are so committed to identifying how to make our school a better place to be.
To become a member of the executive group, students in years 6/7 write an application for the position. In their submission they must present evidence to show that they have the qualities necessary to be effective representatives. The selected executive members are responsible for running SRC meetings three times a term, and planning and managing the SRC’s work.
Classroom representatives are elected to attend the SRC meetings by their classmates because they display positive leadership qualities and a willingness to contribute to the school and community. They share class views, present ideas and strategies to improve life and learning at Ardtornish and often raise funds to support charities. Student voice ensures that students have input into our school’s processes and procedures and experience how a democracy works.
Only one adult per family can be permitted as a spectator on Sports Day.
Unfortunately, after taking into account the COVID guidelines and the fact that this year the whole school is restricted to running sports day on a single oval, instead of the usual 2, we are required to restrict adult spectators to one per family if we are to be COVID compliant.
Even with only one adult attending for each family, we could still potentially have 414 additional people joining the 570 students and staff taking us to around 1000 individuals.
Hence we are requesting that only one adult, per family, attend at any given time. Younger children are welcome to accompany you.
We know this may be disappointing, but both parents, or a grandparent etc., can still attend on the day if they roster themselves to visit at different times, so we do not have a crowded venue. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in this matter.

​What a great camp experience Arbury Park was, it was packed with 3 days of hiking, orienteering, searching for evidence, team activities, shelter building and so much more.
 
Then after tea and showers we finished off our days with a movie night and quiz night. The great social qualities, manners, behaviour and positive attitudes from all the Ardtornish students were noticed by all and made 2021 camp absolutely brilliant
