VIC SRC Congress 2018

SRC Congress

My Experience at VIC SRC Congress 2018.

On the school holidays, I was able to attend Vic SRC’s Congress. This went for three days at Ormond College and full of passionate students sharing their opinions on the latest issues. It was an explosion of Student Voice!  I was extremely lucky to attend and also run for the Executive Team this year! 

I stood up in front of 250 delegates and gave my 50-second speech. I am really proud of myself for going out of my comfort zone and for trying out! Unfortunately, I didn’t get in but that didn’t stop me from engaging with Vic SRC. I applied to be on the Ambassadors Program and successfully joined! 

The Ambassadors Program is a group of students who are selected to represent their schools at the state level. I am extremely excited for this opportunity! I also attended a Public Speaking Workshop that taught me how to be more confident at giving me important tips for creating and delivering speeches. 

I attended the Gala Dinner and dressed up as a girl from the 80s! Congress definitely pushed me out of my comfort zone and made me a more confident person. Anyone who wants to be a part of the Student Voice or is already, should definitely attend! If you love creating change for the issues you are passionate about, this is the event for you! Overall, Congress 2018 has been a life-changing event!
