SRC events during term 4

Bandanna Day

National Bandanna Day was held on Friday the 25th October and is CanTeen’s largest fundraiser to support young people living with cancer.  MHS SRC students sold 60 bandannas for $5 each and collected donations during roll call. This money will help to make a huge difference to the lives of many young Australians. Thank you to all those generous people who donated this year. Just over $400 was raised for CanTeen.

The students that attended were Jazmyn Adey, Kate Moore, Millie Speirs, Samantha Hayman and Cindi Coram. The presenter’s emphasised that leadership is about people, not position or power. Conference like GRIP, provide an opportunity for school leaders to connect with professionals to help advance their leadership skills and with other schools leaders. The students gain confidence and ideas to improve their own character.

The fundraiser Fiver for a Fire Fighter raised $2700 and was be donated to our local RFS crews who have been working tirelessly to help protect lives and properties. These donations where received from MHS staff and students, Dunes Café Yamba, Gulmarrad Public School, local community members, SPAR maclean and Maclean Public School. They were accepted by Nick Clarke who is the Clarence Valley Chief Officer.

Christmas party

This “Candy-Cane-Gram” was a successful fundraiser for the SRC and always brings a smile to the students faces. During lunch we held the Clarence Valleys largest pass-the-parcel game. All students that participated enjpyed themselves and walked away as winners!

Halloween Dress-up Thursday 31st October

Growvember

Image: On Tuesday the 3rd of December the SRC supported Mr Innes and the MO Bro’s of MHS raise funds for the North Coast Cancer Centre in Lismore. Cupcakes were sold, facial hair was painted on faces and a game of pin-the-mo on Mr Court was hotly contested. Students also voted for their favourite Mo by placing monetary donations in the appropriate container, without doubt the students wanted Kirko’s beard to go as he had by far the largest amount of donations. Mr Ford sheared Mr Kirkland’s beard off to cheers from the crowd. All the other Mo Bro’s were cleanly shaven also. Approximately $1000 was raised.

New SRC Coordinator Ms Elaine Essex

I have decided that this year would be my last year steering the students of the SRC and welcome Ms Elaine Essex to coordinate the SRC next year. 

It is fitting that at this point we acknowledge the hard work and effort that all of the 2019 SRC team has put into each and everyone of its activities. 

And so for the last time as SRC coordinator, on behalf of the SRC leadership team, we would like to wish everyone in our school community Merry Christmas and a safe and happy New Year.

Mrs D Hollis

SRC Coordinator
