What is SRC?

Our Student Representative Council (SRC) is a student-based group designed to foster school spirit and leadership amongst students. Members of the SRC are approachable and passionate leaders who help to create, nurture and advocate for constructive ideas within the school community. Our SRC works democratically with School Improvement Teams to assist in decision making that affects the college and organise and plan ways for students to participate in sharing their voice and have input into enjoying the education at Manor Lakes College.
