Izabella Street
School Captain
Hello my name is Izabella Street and I am honoured to be the School Captain for 2026. This year I am aiming to bring the most amount of positive change to our school. I will be devoted to looking out for my fellow students and being the voice for those around me. I believe that I can promote SRC to students and get them involved in decision making at school, and promote our school values of Respect Achievement and Determination. I will lead by example and action as many student-led ideas as possible. Being school captain is not just something you can put on your resume and forget about, it's a real job, it is a responsibility to encourage students to take control of their learning, own their decisions and teach people how to work together. It means that I will make myself available to anyone who needs a hand. As a role model to the student body it is my job to be the bridge in communication and embody our school values, it is also my job to mentor those younger than me to teach them how to make the most of their high school life. Thank you for the opportunity to work with everyone. I hope that 2026 allows me to inspire other students to work hard and work together to foster a positive school environment.
Harleen Kaur
School Captain
Hey everyone, I’m Harleen Kaur, and taking on the role of School Captain for 2026 brings both excitement and a meaningful sense of responsibility. From the very beginning, the focus has always been on creating a fair and inclusive environment where every student feels confident to share their beliefs and ideas, and this role allows that purpose to grow across the entire school community. With strong dedication to Respect, Achievement and Determination, the aim is to lead by example while encouraging others to take pride in their involvement and contribution to school life. Building on previous leadership experiences, the goal is to ensure that every voice is heard, every student feels valued, and all events reflect the diversity and unity within the school. By promoting teamwork, kindness, and consistent effort, I intend to strengthen a culture where students feel supported to be their true selves, work together, and create a positive environment that everyone can be proud to belong to.
Merina Ghebreab
Cultural Inclusion Captain
Hello I’m Merina Ghebreab!!, I’m honoured to be your 2026 cultural inclusion captain. Many people may wonder what the cultural inclusion committee is and what we do. Our committee works to be a safe space for students to talk about challenges they are dealing with when it comes to cultural matters. This could include cultural pressures, differences between class or home, language challenges. We acknowledge that racism still exists in our community so as a committee we are trying our best to implement our school’s anti-racism rules. We hope that this will make our school a culturally safe space for everyone. A big part of our work is also to celebrate cultures in different ways to the best of our abilities. We do this by keeping a calendar of key cultural events and celebrating throughout the year - we can’t wait to see you at Harmony Week Assembly and Cultural Gala! Being captain means creating a space where everyone feels seen, heard, and proud of who they are. My work with the African community through AEYP has helped me understand my own identity more deeply, and hearing the experiences of my friends has shown me how important it is for every student to feel supported. My personal goal is to help students feel confident and comfortable in their identity, and our goal as a committee is to build a school environment where cultural inclusion isn’t just celebrated at events, but felt every day in the way we treat and understand one another.

Abbey Goddard
School Vice-Captain
Hi my name is Abbey Goddard I am one of your Vice Captains in 2026. I'm excited to be working with the SRC team and to help bring about some positive changes to our school. I am really passionate about maintaining a sports focus and getting students involved in different physical activities! I want to bring in an AFL HPE class, and I want to get more PE week activities. I want us all to be able to be the best versions of ourselves and believe that playing sport and feeling like we belong will help make this happen. I also have a personal interest in bringing attention to neuro diversity and how it can be better supported at school. SRC is about making change, valuing us as individuals as well as part of the school community, and having school be a safe, welcoming place for everyone. I feel passionately about making sure that can happen for us all and I hope that everyone can feel comfortable sharing their ideas for our school with me!
Marzia Nijadi
School Vice-Captain
Hi everyone, my name is Marzia Nijadi and I am one of your 2026 vice captains. Through my involvement in SRC, I hope to contribute positively to the school community and advocate for more opportunities for students to grow both personally and academically. As vice captain, I not only intend to create a more supportive school community where student voices are heard and valued, but also lead by example and set high standards for attendance, behaviour and academic achievement. I believe that our biggest strength as a school is our multiculturalism and our ability to come together and celebrate the differences that make us unique. Therefore, one of my main initiatives alongside SRC is to work with the multicultural team and the cultural inclusivity captains to organise new events and activities that celebrate our school community. Apart from this, I believe strongly in both personal and academic growth and therefore hope to improve students’ accessibility to recreational spaces, including outdoor learning spaces, sports courts and quiet zones where they can perform their best.
Arifa Naseri
Yitpi Learning Community Captain
Hey, I'm Arifa and I'm one of the senior Yitpi community captains for 2026. The reason as to why I wanted to be apart of the SRC leadership team was because I’ve always wanted to be a voice for others to share their ideas on ways to improve the school. Being a Yitpi community captain will give me the opportunity to share both my own ideas and those of others on how our school can grow to be more inclusive a environment. This year I’m going to strive to make sure the school is a place where everyone feels safe and comfortable enough to express themselves. For 2026, my goal is to create more events so everyone can feel included. For example an event that I would want to cooperate for this year would be spirit week where there is a different theme for each day of the week and students can dress up. I personally think this is a fun and creative way to create memories especially for the year 12’s. If you ever have an event you may want to include this year don't be afraid to come up to me during recess or lunch and discuss your ideas. I hope for a fun and exciting 2026 for everyone!
Emme Grantham
Yitpi Learning Community Captain
Hi everyone! My name is Emme Grantham and I am one of your Yitpi Learning Community Captains for 2026. I am determined to create an environment where everyone is comfortable and feels supported. I am interested in getting more students involved in the STEM clubs and making sure that everyone feels like they are capable of achieving their dreams. I will also help Young Carers feel more supported in our school and gain the support that they need. I want you to know that you can be who you are in our school, judgment-free, and if you ever have a concern, I will always try my best to help find a solution.

Sitara Mohammadi
Yarta Learning Community Captain
Hi everyone, my name is Sitara Mohammadi, and I'm honoured to serve as one of your Yarta Learning Community Captains for 2026. I chose to join the SRC team because I genuinely care about our school community and the people within it. Having recently moved here from another country, I’ve had the unique opportunity to experience school life from a new perspective, both as someone finding their place, and as someone being welcomed into a community. This has taught me the importance of inclusion, kindness and feeling like you truly belong. Through the SRC, I hope to help create positive change by encouraging student voice, strengthening school spirit and ensuring that our school values of Respect, Achievement and Determination are reflected not just in words, but in our everyday actions. I strongly believe that real change happens when we work together. By celebrating our differences, supporting one another, and leading with empathy, we can build a school environment where everyone feels valued, confident and proud to be part of. I’m grateful for this opportunity and excited to help make 2026 a positive, inclusive and memorable year for our school.
