SRC Minutes – Term 3 Week 3 – 06/08/18

Talent Quest is this Friday at lunchtime! Come down to the hall and watch the show for only $2! We have a variety of acts, including comedy, music and dance. The SRC hopes to see everyone there!
Trivia Night will be coming later this term, with the SRC Executives already beginning to organise the necessary details of the event. The event is a combined SBHS-SGHS seniors only event, but the night is always fun and enjoyable. There will be prizes available for the best tables.
The SRC has also been notified of a noise complaint regarding SGHS using the canteen during our class times. While they are still allowed to use the canteen (the profits go to us anyway), we will see how we can ensure they do not disturb the surrounding classes.
In addition, the SRC will look into banning plastic straws at the canteen. There is little demand for them currently and this move will be greatly beneficial to the environment.

SRC Minutes – Term 3 Week 2 – 30/07/18

 

 
Talent Quest will be held at lunchtime in the Great Hall on Friday in Week 3. There will be a small $2 entry fee at the door. Auditions for Talent Quest are still open and if you would like to participate in this event please email the SRC urgently to organise an audition time. The Year 10 SRC members put up posters across the noticeboards of the school recently, so please make sure you check them out and turn up to see the talent of Sydney Boys next Friday!
We have received details about the design of bucket hats and we are welcoming any designs made by students (must be appropriate) to be sent to the SRC. The more simple the design, the more affordable the bucket hat will be. E.g. A solid single colour (such as a shade of blue or brown) and a small school logo would make an appropriate design. Once designs are sent into the SRC, they will be hand-selected to be put to a school vote. Please get designing!
Trivia Night for Seniors will be held later this term, and the SRC have slowly begun organising it, with questions being written up by various year group members.
There have been concerns raised about juniors using roller bags and the tripping hazard they pose in school corridors. This issue will be raised to higher powers to see what can be done about reducing the weight of school bags. This has previously been a source of concern by many teachers.
The SRC is also looking into having a Ramen Day or Udon Day next term as a means of fundraising.
An idea brought forward by the Year 7 SRCs regarding a house handball competition has received largely positive comments from the SRC. We will look into discussing this with the Prefects so that we can have this tournament organised this term or next term.

SRC Minutes Term 2 Week 9 – 25/06/18

Talent Quest auditions will be coming up right after the holidays, so please start getting acts ready over the holidays! A reminder that while an act can be entertaining, it must still be appropriate, and each act can be no longer than 5 minutes.
Designs for the proposed Bucket Hats are now open, so start drawing up designs and send them in to the SRC. The best designs will be picked out by the SRC and put up to a school vote.
The SRC will soon put up a ballot to Juniors regarding the concept of Cyber-Free Monday.
Further ideas raised at the meeting this week include changing the colour of the school hat to a darker colour, and the introduction of systems of electronic payment at the canteen. Both issues will be looked into and brought to the School Council if necessary.

SRC Minutes – Term 2 Week 8 – 18/06/18

 

Unfortunately, the mini-fair initially planned for Year 7 has been cancelled as of now, due to a lack of interest and time constraints. If the opportunity to run this does come again, we will look into organising the event.

Talent Quest will be held in early Term 3, with auditions in the first few weeks. Please start getting your acts ready over the holidays!

The SRC has gotten approval for bucket hats, so we will continue to work with the High Store on designs and price over the coming months.

The concern of having sheltered bus lines has been brought up to the SRC, with further discussion pending in the coming weeks.

SRC Minutes – Term 2 Week 5 (28/05/18)

Junior Dance is this Thursday 31st May (6pm to 9pm) at SGHS. Please see your Junior SRC Members to buy a ticket for $10. We highly recommend Juniors go for a fun, social night.

 

Students are reminded that there is a service on the School Portal/Moodle through which students can anonymously report any kind of discrimination or concerns they have with anything at school, including racism, bullying or anything suspicious regarding other students. The use of this service has been shown to be highly effective for the school, so please use it if required.

 

The SRC-run Ballot on the Student Portal regarding bucket hats is now up. Remember to vote for this if you wish to have bucket hats.

The GPS Swimming Carnival is being held this Friday 23rd March at Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre (SOPAC) at 6.30pm to 9pm. We encourage all students to attend and support the boys swimming. Award Scheme Points apply.

The SRC discussed the following matters at the recent School Council Meeting:
a) The school will contact transport authorities regarding the issue of bus lines in the morning from Central.
b) The Council has said that the Year 11 Sports Uniforms on Wednesday requires more responses from the students. Another ballot will come shortly.

The SRC will begin to be involved in Canteen Meetings to liaise with the Canteen over menu suggestions etc.

The SRC plans to hold a Ramen Day/Udon Day sometime in the future. More information will come at a later date.

A recent issue of the new sports shorts pockets being too small, meaning items fall out. The SRC will ask the High Store about this.

SRC Minutes – Term 1 Week 5 – 05/03/2018

A ballot has been proposed by the SRC regarding the possibility of sport uniforms on Wednesday for Year 11s. This is remains subject to approval.
Unfortunately, two suggestions from the student body – beanbags in Senior Library and 6 chicken fingers instead of 4 in the Canteen – were not approved by the Senior Library (due to space issues) or the Canteen.
In addition, the issue of school buses in the morning at Central causing overcrowding and many students to be late to school will be brought up at the School Council Meeting this month.

SRC Minutes – Term 1 Week 4 – 19/02/2018

Welcome and congratulations to all the newly elected SRC members for 2018!!!! A full list of your year representatives is available on the Student Portal.
The SRC will be holding three main events this year over Terms 2 and 3 – Junior Dance, Talent Quest and Trivia Night. A possible additional event could also be held late this term for Year 7s.
The SRC is also proud to announce that since polling last year, the school canteen will be implementing steamed buns on the menu at some time this year. If there are any other (healthy) suggestions, please tell your Year’s SRC members so that we can look into this.
