Student Representative Council

The first meeting of this august body will be held this Wednesday at high noon and every following fortnight in the proverbial Student Union Hall which can be found on the top floor of the Union building.

The importance of these meetings cannot be overstated. The Student Representative Council is the policy making body for the Association and also elects all student representatives onto the various committees and boards which make this outfit tick.

The SRC is open to all members of VUWSA. Usually the attendances work out to about a 200 student average, although controversial meetings on abortion and civil liberties last year attracted up to 400 students.

Every Association member can vote on every motion at SRC's, a form of student democracy pioneered by Victoria

If any of these things interest you, or if you'd like to go along to see your favourite student politician to ask her/him what they are doing with your $37.00 Studass fee, then get along to SRC. The Association always needs new blood, and SRC is an ideal way to get involved with the various activities VUWSA is involved in.
