Who Is A Part Of The Team ?
The Student Leadership team is made up of students in all years from Years 7 to 12. Younger years are also well committed to the team and we have students from Years 7 to 9 on the team and a total of 38 students who have been a part of the 2022/2023 Leadership Team.
What do meetings look like ?
The leadership team meets every Monday at lunchtime and we discuss about new ideas and plan events together. We have minutes and notes taken every meeting and we split into groups to work on different projects together. We have a social media (Instagram) page @turramurra_leadership which is updated on a weekly basis.
Teacher Support
We are very fortunate to have a lot of teacher support and a huge thanks to Mr Roberts and Ms Bell for helping the team weekly. Also a big shout out to Alice McCourt (Student Support Officer)for helping us regularly as well.

Term 2 Planned Events - Push Up Challenge
In the month of June Turramurra participated in the push up challenge, which is a program to raise awareness for mental wellbeing. The challenge runs from 1 June to 25 June and we have presently raised $8000 and counting in donations, had a sausage sizzle and were sponsored by Kissing Point FC for some prizes.
Term 2 Planned events - Vision Australia
On 14th June Turramurra held a vision impairment awareness day raising money for Vision Australia Seeing Eye Dogs. The aim of this day was to create vision impairment awareness within our school community and promote an inclusive environment.
Currently we have raised over $1000 in donations through the fundraising site.
What we are working on - Turra Fest
Currently a big event we are working towards is Turra Fest in Week 10. Turra Fest is a week to celebrate student success in Terms 1 and 2, also with other fun events.

Previous Years - Battle of the Talents
More up to date videos and photos can be seen on the @turramurra_ledership instagram page.
What we are working on - Power Chair Football World Cup
What is it ? Australia will be hosting the Powerchair football world cup. Powerchair Football, also known as Power Soccer, is a variant of association football for people with physical disabilities.
Why we are doing this? We want our school to support our country in the world cup and spread and raise awareness about this sport, supporting people with disabilities to achieve their dreams and be treated equally.
When is it planned? The tournament will be held from SUNDAY 15 OCTOBER TO FRIDAY 20 OCTOBER and we are trying to plan for one day where group of students from Turramurra High School go to support Australia.
What we are working on - NAIDOC Week
We are planning on celebrating NAIDOC Week in Week 1 of next term.
Some events we are planning:
Future - Diwali
Diwali is an Indian festival of lights that we would like to celebrate in our school for the first time. Diwali this year will be in the month of November, so we have plenty of time to plan.
Some ideas
Future - Christmas
Every year we have done the Christmas Tree of Care with Hornsby Connect and The Salvation Army.
If we are able to put up lights for Diwali we could further decorate our school with Christmas themed lights as well to make our school stand out and get the neighboring community involved in having a look at our beautiful school.
Future - Return And Earn
A future plan that we have been working on to launch soon is a Return and Earn program in the school. If this program were to be successful, we would be one step closer to solving a recycling problem in our school for good. Establishing Return and Earn facilities inside our school will make recycling at school easy and we can get money from it that would go towards another future project. This system would be more of a long term solution than instant short term impact.
Future - Beautification Group
We aim to create a strong school identity and improve the wellbeing of students and staff at Turramurra High School. Our idea for this project is to have a painted mural in the walkway between the basketball courts sitting area, and the amphitheatre, in which students and staff would be able to be immersed into the school.
Jasmine Sarin - https://jskooridesigns.com.au/
Jasmine Sarin is a First Nations artist and graphic designer. She has worked with schools before and aims to deliver quality and meaningful First Nations creative art projects. We are currently in the process of discussing designs for the mural with Jasmine.
Danielle Mate - https://www.daniellemate.com.au/
Danielle is a Sydney based First Nations artist, working in large-scale mural design and public art.
Some Contacted Artists
Future - Beautification Group
We discussed the colour palette with Kathy Kim. The first artist we contacted was Hugues Sineux, a classically trained French artist and muralist based in Sydney, Australia with over 25 years experience in mural painting. We have one of the final designs for more colour in the school. This design is for between A and E block in the walkway.
Future - Changerooms and Grandstand
Goal - To have a grandstand and change room built on the bottom oval.
