Our VicSRC Intern Ambassador 

Over the past few months, I’ve had the privilege of working closely with the Victorian Student Representative Council (VicSRC) as an Ambassador Intern. In April, I participated in an intensive workshop organised by VicSRC, where we focused on enhancing students’ advocacy and leadership skills. As part of this transformative experience, I developed a project proposal aimed at amplifying student voices within our local community. To my delight, my proposal was selected for implementation.

My proposal is called Local Schools Council (LSC) program.

The purpose of the LSC program is to address the need for consistent and meaningful communication between students from different schools in the area, creating a clear pathway for collaboration in future events and projects. Possible ways that this program could achieve this are organising student voice events and forums and working with stakeholders to provide student voice on matters that affect high school students in the area. Basically, it is a multi-school student council.

I’ve learned valuable lessons about leadership, teamwork, and the power of student advocacy. As I continue this journey, I look forward to further growth and making a lasting impact within our educational community.
