Emma Smith, grade five, chats about compassion and leadership.

I have been part of the SRC (Student Representative Council) which absolutely is a benefit to all of us. We help with charities and communities, and how we can impact their lives. We did The Greatest Shave to support the Leukaemia Foundation and some of our brave students stepped forward to shave their heads. We have gala days with a lot of sport and we cheer each other on. It’s very important to support each other. I love the spirit of all that. Its important to know about God and the religious side of it all when we come together to respect and help people. I’ve learnt how the SRC gives us the chance to speak up and have a voice. Not to make silly decisions but to think of others and to listen to people and hear their voice and their ideas moving forward. We have a lot of respect and amazing teachers.
