The Student Forum started in 2000 with sixteen members (three primary and thirteen secondary). A ceremony was held on the 5^th of April with the district superintendent Mrs McKerihan attending. That week a camp was held with students from yr 5/6 Cobar and Hay coming. The first year the SF notice board was put up in the Hostel, also the SF help organised some activities at camps. In 2001 the first SF camp was at Lake Burrendong with most members coming.

During one camp some members met with Noni Hazlehurst while the rest of the forum talked with her via phone. She was there to talk about NETALERT, an internet safety awareness program. She then went on a tour of the school.

Projects:

In 2003, the Hostel Haven Project was formed with money from a NSW government Environmental Trust. Gardens were planted around the Hostel fences with watering systems installed, seats were put under a tree, a herb garden was planted and compost bins were bought.

Two sub-committees were developed: the Social Committee and the Sporting Committee. With the fundraising money, school hats were bought.  At the Ski excursion, a pool competition was held by the Sporting Committee with trophies presented.           

A talk about the African Painted Dogs

During a secondary camp a board game was made entirely of recycled pieces which was entered in an Australia wide competition, in which the game came third. The local TV station even came down and interviewed some students.  Again at Muster Camp the end of year social dance was held with a ‘scary’ theme.
