VicSRC is the peak body representing school-aged students in Victoria. We exist to empower all student voices to be valued in every aspect of education. VicSRC was created by students to be a voice for students at the highest levels of decision making in Victorian education. VicSRC is led by a team of 15 secondary school aged students (VicSRC Student Executive Advisory Committee) that make decisions collaboratively with a group of six adults (VicSRC Board of Trustees) about how VicSRC operates, what programs it offers and how it hears from students about what changes need to be made in education. A team of staff members put these decisions into action with consistent advice from the Student Executive Advisory Committee. MISSION: We stand with and for students to elevate their voices to be heard. VISION: Education that's flexible, relevant and includes all students in all decisions.
