School Socials

School Socials are usually held each term. Staff, parents and the Student Representative Council have devised the rules for socials. Although staff members supervise at these functions, the planning, organisation and cleaning up is the responsibility of the Student Representative Council. The student body has devised a checklist that helps allocate organisational tasks to specific members. This reflects the extent to which students have accepted the responsibility for organising these popular events.

Proceeds from socials help fund nominated projects of the Student Representative Council.

Volunteer staff members supervise school socials.
Socials are only available to current, full time students of Melrose High School.
Socials begin at 7:00pm and finish at 10:00 pm.
