Logo for Smiling Mind

In 2020, Smiling Mind was awarded funding from the Victorian Department of Education and Training to support the wellbeing of senior secondary students. Smiling Mind approached VicSRC as a partner, to ensure student voice was threaded throughout the campaign and content.

VicSRC coordinated students for co-design interviews and user experience testing. The final product was a social media campaign called "Feeling It", with practical tips for senior secondary students to improve their wellbeing.

Logo for Parliament of Victoria

The Education Advisory Panel (EAP) at Parliament of Victoria wanted to ensure that the voices of students were being heard in their important work. Parliament of Victoria contracted VicSRC to oversee the recruitment of two student members for the EAP, and provide ongoing support for the student members to meaningfully engage with the work of the Panel.

Logo for Living with COVID

The University of Melbourne engaged VicSRC to provide feedback and advice on a series of short videos for school aged students about the impacts of Living With COVID post 2020 lockdown. VicSRC reviewed scripts and drafts of videos and provided feedback to ensure they were accessible and relevant to the current student experience.
