CPR (Care, Protect, Respect) Ambassadors
Hello SASC community!
Our Senior CPR Ambassadors have kicked off 2026 with energy and purpose. They’ve been busy planning new ideas and initiatives to help make our school an even safer, more inclusive, and supportive place for everyone.
Recently, our senior ambassadors had the opportunity to take part in safe TALK, a suicide prevention training program delivered by Brimbank Youth Services. Alongside this, they are currently completing Teen Mental Health First Aid training. These valuable experiences are helping to equip our ambassadors with the skills and confidence they need to support their peers and lead with empathy.
We’re also excited to share that our Junior CPR Ambassador elections have wrapped up! Our senior team is looking forward to meeting and collaborating with the new junior ambassadors as they step into their leadership roles.
Throughout the year, our ambassadors will focus on helping students build coping strategies and feel more confident seeking help when they need it. Keep an eye out for them at assemblies and through student- friendly resources they’ll be creating for the whole SASC community.
Looking ahead to next term, the team will begin planning activities for Mental Health Week. These events will focus on promoting wellbeing and reducing the stigma around accessing mental health support and will be aligned with our theme of diversity in unity.
We’re incredibly proud of the work our CPR ambassadors are doing and can’t wait to see the positive impact they’ll have across the school community. Stay tuned—there’s plenty more to come!

Student Representative Council (SRC)
The SRC is a student body that represents student voice and advocacy, contributes student perspectives to decision-making, and organises events to support and improve the school community. Get familiar with your SRC for 2026! Feel free to come speak to any of them!
In week 4, the Year 12 College Leadership Team and various Year 11 student leaders attended the 2026 Leadership Summit at Overnewton Anglican Community College (Yirramboi Campus). Here are some of the Year 11 SRC reflections from the day:
“The leadership summit at Overnewton Anglican College was a great opportunity to connect with like-minded leaders throughout the West. We gained valuable insights on qualities crucial to being a leader, such as adaptability, delegation and collaboration. We also learnt about the notion of ‘Self-Leadership’, meaning leading and knowing oneself before leading those around you”. – Ezekiel Ong (Year 11 SRC)
“Throughout the day, the activities we completed activities that strengthened our sense of team building and critical thinking. We did a series of activities, such as creating spaghetti-marshmallow structures and a puzzle piece hunt – truly a unique and interesting way of getting us to work more collaboratively! We had opportunity to listen to Alice Jordan-Baird MP (the federal member for Gorton), who spoke about importance of the youth, especially when it comes to creating change within our communities. Overall, young leaders from schools across the Western suburbs were able to engage with each other through a shared desire in improving our society’s innovation and connectivity”. – Amelia Hua (Year 11 SRC).
In week 7, our Year 8 SRC along with the Year 8 Class Captains & Year 8 House Captains attended the Emerging Leaders excursion at the Vanguard office in the city. They participated in leadership training offered by ABCN. Thank you to Mr Dane Stammers for organising the excursion.
The Year 12 College Leadership Team and Year 11 SRC have also been working hard to organise the annual Year 11 & 12 Soccer Challenge, which will be happening in the last week of term.
Early next term, the SRC will be running the 2nd SASC Leadership Conference with the goal of upskilling each other’s leadership skills and collaborate with other student leaders within the College to plan upcoming events and initiatives.
Stay tuned for more updates!
