SRC News Term 4 2009 The Students Representative Council of St Euphemia College has had a very productive year. During the first three terms of the year, the SRC has supported initiatives such as fundraising for the ESTIA Foundation and the World Vision 40 hour famine. It has also provided much support for Year 12 in their fundraising activities towards a present for the students of St Euphemia College, an annual tradition at our School. Such activities have included mufti days, school dances and a barbeque at the Athletics Carnival. Other highlights have included leading the School at the 25 March Independence Day celebrations and boys from the SRC along with other volunteers from Years 10, 11 and 12 carried the Epitaph for the first time during our Easter celebrations at St Euphemia Church. The SRC continues to provide a voice for students in the everyday running of the School, with regular meetings being held throughout the year. The SRC is made up of elected representatives from Years 8 to 11 and the Year 12 Prefect Body. At the end of Term 3, the Year 12 students of 2009 completed their school year and as a result, elections were held to select a new Prefect body for the next four school terms. The Prefects for 2010 will consist of the following Year 12 students: BOYS: Dobric Jovan Giannopoulos Dimitri (Captain) Hursalas Dimitri Kareklas Savvas (Vice) Reskakis Nikita Spinks Mathew GIRLS: Bosganas Lena (Captain) Constantinou Lianna Heretakis Illiada Palivos Kerry-Anne Petrovic Njega (Vice) Pupulas Carly Pupulas Vicky Sklavenitis Elena Special thanks must go to the Prefects of 2009 who have done a magnificent job in promoting the various causes of the SRC throughout 2009.

Year 12 Farewell Dinner On Thursday, 1 October, The School and P&F held a Farewell Breakfast and Dinner for the Year 12 class of 2009. Both functions were convivial and yet emotional as the students celebrated the conclusion of their school life. Congratulations must go to the Year Adviser Mr Prevezanos and the President of the P&F, Ms Hantes who worked arduously so that both events were a magnificent success. We all wish Year 12 the best of luck in the HSC Examinations and in their future endeavours.
