How well is your SRC doing? Are your students bored with the SRC? Looking to take it to the next level? The job of an SRC is tough. Students need to be good representatives, clever organizers, creative, enthusiastic, and keep up with the rest of their school work.
We’re kidding ourselves to think that these qualities arrive the day that students get appointed to a leadership role. These skills only come with training and practice.
Second Strike is a leadership training company specializing in student leadership and SRC’s. We focus on two principles: Participation and Relevancy.
We provide interactive and participatory sessions, not long and boring lectures. Most importantly, all Second Strike training days are tailor made to suit you. We provide your SRC with the skills that they need the most, with results that are applicable to your school and SRC’s unique setting.
