1999 Kookaburra Council Leaders
Chairperson

Secretary

Treasurer

Alexa Borak Hannah Gross Heidi Warnes

Our Student Representative Council is known as Kookaburra Council. A student, elected from each class, attends Kookaburra Council meetings each fortnight under the guidance of staff members, Mrs. Jacqui Brettig and Mr. Brian Marshall. Students discuss issues raised at class meetings and make recommendations for consideration by staff and School Council.


Alexa, Heidi and Hannah

In addition to being a forum for student ideas, Kookaburra Council also organizes fun activities for students, including regular student discos and the very popular Casual Days. This year several charities will be supported by the activities of Kookaburra Council.

Hundreds of dollars have been donated to the following organizations.
                 The Juvenile Diabetes Foundation
                 The Anti-Cancer Foundation
                 The Salvation Army.

One of the biggest projects accomplished this year was the mural painted on the breezeway wall between the Hall and Unit 1.

Our Student Leaders

" Earlier in the year, I was elected as Chairperson of Kookaburra Council. My job is to run the meetings with help from the Secretary and Treasurer. I also help run discos and other fundraisers with help from others. We had a very successful year."
     Alexa Borak Chairperson)

"I am the Secretary of Kookaburra Council. This job requires attending all the meetings, taking minutes, writing them up and distributing them to all the classes. I really enjoyed being part of this team."
     Hannah Gross (Secretary)

"I was elected earlier this year to be Treasurer of Kookaburra Council. My job was to attend every meeting on time and give the Treasurer's report about our finances. I've gained a lot of confidence from having this responsibility.."
     Heidi Warnes (Treasurer)

" I enjoyed being involved with Kookaburra Council. The class representatives gain a lot of confidence from being involved, sharing ideas between meetings and classes and voting on issues. I enjoy encouraging their participation and development of responsibility".
     Jacqui Brettig
     (Staff Representative)

"Once again our Student Representative Council has worked well to give students a strong voice in our school.
Our Year 7s have led the way for our younger Kookaburra Council reps by their active participation in discussions and willingness to be involved in projects. Through this participation, we have successfully made many improvements to school procedures and facilities.
     Brian Marshall
