Congress is VicSRC's flagship student-led experience which brings together secondary students from across Victoria to unpack ideas and solve issues in the education system. The top ideas, as voted by students, become the focus of VicSRC's advocacy for the next 12 months, spearheaded by the VicSRC Student Executive Advisory Committee.

2025 is VicSRC Congress' 20th Anniversary, and to celebrate, we're hitting to road!

Across 2025-2026, VicSRC will visit five regions, including East Gippsland, Geelong, Melbourne, Swan Hill, and Wangaratta to hear directly from students about their education.

VicSRC's 20th Congress celebrations will start and end with Congress in Melbourne, creating a whole year of Victoria's largest student voice event!

Congress 2025 will start at Wurun Senior Campus on Friday 11 September 2025. Tickets are on sale 25th of July, with Partner Schools getting early bird access.
