Executive committee election
The VicSRC Student Executive Advisory Committee (the Executive Committee) is made up of 15 secondary school students from across Victoria.
Executive Committee members are elected by Victorian students each year. Their role is to help govern VicSRC and lead the organisation's work, acting on the priorities identified by students at the annual VicSRC Congress. They work alongside the VicSRC Board and represent the voices and experiences of Victorian students to government and education stakeholders.
You don't need previous leadership experience to be on the Executive Committee, just enthusiasm, curiosity, and a commitment to making education better for all Victorian students. Each year, students from across the state can nominate and vote for who they want to represent them.

Being a part of the Exec has enabled me grow as a person and express my voice with others. ...I've absolutely loved representing students across Victoria
— Sonany
Being on the Exec has opened my eyes to worldly issues that are prevalent within the education system. Working with like-minded people has taught me the power students have as a collective to make a change. VicSRC and the Executive committee has given me opportunities that I would have never dreamed of doing.

FAQs
Absolutely! Any Victorian school-aged student in Y7-11 or equivalent, who is also a part of the VicSRC Student Community is eligible to nominate for the VicSRC Executive Committee. You will be given a comprehensive induction to help you understand everything about VicSRC.
Unfortunately, if you are due to complete Year 12 in 2024 you are not eligible to nominate for the 2025 Executive Committee. All students who sit on the VicSRC Executive must be current students within the Victorian education system. If you want to be involved with VicSRC you should come to Congress 2024 and sign up to the Student Community, so you stay informed about any other opportunities!
No! You don't have to be on your SRC or Student Voice Body to nominate. We’re just looking for students who are passionate and committed. You don’t need to have any previous experience!
Yes, we want our Exec to represent all Victorian students, so we do have caps and quotas in place. Our quotas are gender, location and school type based. Our caps are age and school based.
For example, we aim for at least five students on exec who are schooled outside Metro Melbourne, and at least four students who identify as female.
We cap at three students' currently in year 11, and no more than two students from the same school at time of nomination can sit on exec.
We recommend all students from all schools to apply! If you have any questions about caps and quotas, reach out to elections@vicsrc.org.au
We really need an Executive team who are available for our major events. If you are super keen to nominate but know that you’re unavailable for something, send us an email at election@vicsrc.org.au and we will get back to you. If you want to be involved with VicSRC in a different way, you can attend Congress 2024 or apply to become an Ambassador next year.
Oh no! Unfortunately, our deadlines are strict, and we cannot accept late nominations. Hopefully we’ll see you next year!
You sure do! We will send you information about voting via email.
There will be more information sent to your emails closer to the "Campaigning period". The best way to get votes is to get your friends to join our Student Community!
