Student Representative Council (SRC)

Speaking up for every student

ICMS draws students from all over the world attracted by our reputation as a vibrant social community with incredible student experiences. The diverse student body remains committed to staying connected via formal and informal social activities, both on and off campus.

What does the SRC do?

The Student Representative Council (SRC) strives to improve the quality of student life for the entire student body. Elected by their peers, the SRC acts as an advocate for the student body with the elected SRC President taking charge of the events and activities. The SRC also works closely with the Student Experience Team to plan and organise a range of social and cultural activities, including major events such as our College Icebreaker party and themed events such as talent shows, karaoke, cocktail and movie nights.

The SRC is the voice of the students and represents all students’ views on academic and experience-related issues to the College. This not only gives students the forum to voice their views, but also gives the College valuable feedback when planning for the future.

Objectives

The SRC is established to:

• promote and advocate the interests and welfare of students
• advise the CEO and ICMS Executive on student experience matters
• be informed of and represent the views of students
• encourage the formation and successful management of student cultural, social, sporting and education groups
• encourage students to be involved in the activities of the SRC
• provide for and promote student extra-curricular activities and social events
• provide for the welcoming, orientation and social engagement of new students
• promote the  multicultural student body by creating and supporting opportunities to celebrate and showcase the diverse cultures of ICMS
• perform such other roles as may be determined by the CEO.

How Do I Get Involved?

If there is something you would like to raise the SRC, you can contact the President to voice your concern.

SRC elections are held throughout the academic year. If you would like more information about joining the SRC or upcoming elections, please email the SRC President at [email protected]

Meet the President Mikayla Croft (elected Trimester 2, 2026)

Growing up on a 110-acre property in the small country town of Aberdeen, Mikayla Croft always had a passion for bringing people together. Between caring for horses, cattle, sheep, goats, dogs, chooks and even a donkey, she originally imagined a future in agriculture. But after working for a catering company throughout high school, she discovered a love for hospitality and events — and realised she could turn that passion into a career.

A graduate of Scone Grammar School, where she served as Chapel Prefect and helped organise Year 12 fundraising events, Mikayla is now in her second year of a Bachelor of Event Management at ICMS. She lives at the Northern Beaches Campus in Manly and was recently the recipient of the Motti + Smith Events Scholarship (pictured).

As SRC President, she is passionate about creating a welcoming and inclusive campus environment where students feel connected, supported and represented. She’s excited to work alongside the SRC team to deliver memorable events, strengthen the student community and ensure every student has the opportunity to get involved in campus life.

“What I’ve loved most about studying at ICMS is the strong sense of community and the opportunities to connect with people from different backgrounds,” she says. “I’ve also enjoyed the hands-on learning experiences and being involved in student life through the SRC.”

Some of her favourite SRC events include the Icebreaker Party, boat parties and the End-of-Year Ball. She’s looking forward to helping bring even more exciting experiences to life for students across campus.

After graduating, Mikayla hopes to build a career in the events or hospitality industries.
