Opportunity for students to be part of SSV Student Leaders Program 

SSV is now accepting applications for our inaugural Student Leaders Group – essentially, the group is a student representative council who will provide feedback and advice to SSV to help guide future decision making. 

Students in Years 5-12 are invited to apply, with applications closing 5pm on Monday 8 November. 

Topics covered by the group may include:

• The design and development of new physical activity initiatives and programs in school sport
   
• Making the school sport experience enjoyable and welcoming for all students
   
• Knocking down the barriers to sport that are often experienced by students
   
• Showing us how and telling us why Victorian students want to be engaged in school sport
   
• Ensuring that a safe and enjoyable environment is provided for all students to participate in school sport regardless of their fitness, experience, or skill level.
   

The SSV Student Leaders Group will involve a 12-month commitment (throughout the 2022 school year) with twice a term, virtual group discussions led by two facilitators who have a background in Australian sport.  The program will give students the opportunity to get to know a pair of Australian sporting personalities and also build the confidence to speak, lead and provide feedback within an encouraging and welcoming environment.

SSV will select a group of up to 20 students ranging years 5 to 12, with students of all backgrounds, abilities, genders, and schools encouraged to apply.
