This meeting at a glance: New SRC Executives, Year 12 Jerseys, Dates for 2017, Pizza Day 2017, Sydney High Bucket Hats, SRC Funds
Today was the first meeting under the new SRC leadership. The new positions are as follows
Progress is underway to have the Year 12 Jerseys delivered by Winter 2017.
The Sydney Boys SRC will converse with the Sydney Girls SRC over the next few weeks to decide dates for Junior Dance, Talent Quest and Trivia Night.
Pizza Day was turned down last year but due to the great disappointment among the students and SRC we will attempt to have one this year instead.
There has been requests to have a bucket hat introduced to the Sydney High official school uniform. The SRC will investigate this further and confirm if it will be feasible.
The SRC has built up funds over the two years through fundraising events. Our first priority would be to spend this on a school-wide cashless card system. If this falls through, we will be searching for something else to spend this money on.
This meeting at a glance: Trivia Night, Meeting with Dr Jaggar and 2017 Executive Elections
Trivia Night is just 2 weeks away and most tables have been filled. There are only 2 SBHS tables yet to be filled so if you want to book one it is vital you do it ASAP. The table limit is very strict and we definitely cannot squeeze extra tables in, so if you miss out you will have to wait for next year.
Peter Pan, Roy Yi and Jack Ralph attended a meeting with Dr Jaggar last Thursday. The main topics discussed were Trivia Night, BYOD and Year 12 Jerseys, amongst other things. We were reminded that it is imperative we listen to the students of the school to ensure that any problems or issues can be solved either through the SRC or through the school council. Having said this, anyone with suggestions or complaints should speak to any SRC member or come to a meeting any Monday lunch in room 304.
The year 10 SRC members gave speeches for executive elections which will be taking place this week. The polls close on Friday and the results will be officially announced next Monday. The SRC secretary has already been selected and the result to this will also be officially announced next Monday.

This meeting at a glance: Trivia Night, Year 12 Jerseys and Microwaves
Trivia Night is approaching quickly. Out of the 12 tables allocated to Sydney Boys, 6 have been reserved or paid in full. There is high interest in the remaining tables so please return your forms and deposits quickly if you wish to participate.
The SRC may not be able to deliver the year 12 jerseys as early as initially hoped, however they should still be available during Autumn 2017.
It has been suggested that the SRC purchase a bank of microwaves for the students to use. While this sounds like a good idea and would be useful for students, it may be difficult to do due to safety issues and finding a space to put them. Also, currently the only students with access to a microwave are the prefects and this scheme may be seen as taking away one of their privileges.

This meeting at a glance: James Ruse Conference, After-School Library and Canteen Issues
The James Ruse SRC Conference was held last Friday and we received insight on how the SRCs from other schools in Sydney are run.
The preliminary results for estimated usage of the after-school library are up. However with just over 100 poll responses we ask that more people participate so that we can better justify opening the library after school. Dr Jaggar has given the SRC enough funding for opening the library after school, if there is demand. At the moment the most likely day(s) would be Monday and/or Tuesday from 3:15 to 5:00pm.
It has been raised by several SRC members that too much our school canteen’s food is being bought by people who do not attend Sydney Boys. A variety of possible solutions to this problem are currently being considered.

This meeting at a glance: New water filter, Talent quest auditions, Windbreakers, James Ruse Conference and Other business
The new water filter is finally here and is situated next to 303. We are aiming to have a third water filter installed somewhere else around the school later this year.
Talent quest auditions will be held in week 5 and 6 to prepare for the actual event on the last day of term. There is a time limit of 5 minutes per audition.
The current lunchtime audition timeslots are:
If you would like to organise an audition outside of these times, speak to any SRC member!
There has been some miscommunication with the windbreakers and they are reportedly only being sold to cross-country and rugby players. Our original intention had been to have them available for all students and we are currently to pushing for them to be for everyone.
Five SRC members will be attending the James Ruse SRC conference on Friday week 5. This will allow us to gather new and fresh ideas to make the school better.
