The Student Representative Council (SRC)

This consists of students from across the school. This group supports initiatives like The World’s Greatest Shave, Red Shield Appeal, and fund raising for our School of St Jude's foster child. They have recently bought water coolers that have been installed in 3 blocks. They run Unity Day each year which sees them swimming against the Gunamatta Greys and supporting a strong community link.

Student Leadership Pathway

In 2024, the Leadership by the Bay Student Leadership Pathway was established, with sensational results.

Year 7 students that completed 'Leadership by the Bay' (LBTB) achieved immediate enrolment into WHS SRC.

The students that accepted their positions in our SRC have flourished and are active participants in our student leadership team. This program is continued each year and we continue to develop strong and dedicated young leaders.
