Like the Junior Common Room, the SCR annually elect a President, Secretary and treasurer, among other portfolios, to organise several events throughout the year. The SCR is responsible for the organisation of the Michael Scott Art Prize an the Newman Tracts Publication.

Two lineages electrify the air,
That will like pennons from a mast
Fly over sleep and life and death
Till sun is powerless to decoy
A single seed above the earth:
Lineage of sorrow: lineage of joy....”

“I will not choose what many men desire,
Because I will not jump with common spirits,
And rank me with the barbarous multitudes.”
