Student Leadership

At Brentwood Secondary College students can apply for numerous positions that develop and nurture their leadership skills. 

Student Representative Council (SRC) 
The Student Representative Council (SRC) is an important forum for students to participate in the decision making of the College. There are representatives from each year level as members of the SRC. Two members of the SRC are elected to School Council and attend these meetings to report on the SRC’s activities and provide a student voice to any decisions being made by the College. The SRC meets every week during lunchtime to discuss issues and ideas to bring to the College Executive or School Council.
