The Victorian Student Representative Council’s 6th annual Congress was held on August 5-7th 2011 at Oasis Campsite in Mt Evelyn. Congress is organised and run by the VicSRC Student Executive, with support from the VicSRC Coordinator and provides an opportunity for secondary school students from around Victoria to meet and discuss issues and concerns that are important to them and their schools. Students who attended congress this year had the opportunity to speak directly to the Minister for Education, the Hon. Martin Dixon, about the issues that matter to them and why it is so important to listen to the voice of students. It was fantastic to have the support of the Minister and hope that he continues to listen to students in Victoria and take their views seriously.
Highlights from Congress this year include: having an extra day to workshop ideas and suggestions about what issues the VicSRC should focus on in the coming year; having an extra night to bond with fellow attendees during toilet paper wedding dress competitions and a very rowdy quiz night!; managing to stay alert during busy daytime work sessions to determine how important education issues can be tackled by the VicSRC; debating proposals created by students during a formal parliamentary style congress session; and nominating a new VicSRC Student Executive to represent the students of Victoria for the following year.
