The National Schools’ Constitutional Convention (NSCC) is one of the major components of the Australian Government Civics and Citizenship Education (CCE) program. The Convention is an annual peak event exploring the Australian Constitution for senior school students in Years 11 and 12. Twenty-five Victorian students from Years 11 and 12 will be selected from Victoria to attend the Convention in 2026. The Convention is funded by the Australian Government, supported by the Victorian Department of Education (DE) and delivered by National Curriculum Services (NCS).
The Convention will be held at the Museum of Australian Democracy, Canberra and accommodation will be at the Pavilion on Northbourne Hotel. Delegates will be required to fly to Canberra, arrive and check-in at the hotel in Canberra on Tuesday 24 March (subject to flight availability). Travel expenses including accommodation, flights and meal costs are fully funded by the Commonwealth Department of Education. Further information about the program, travel & accommodation requirements will be provided to successful students.
Students will be supervised by the following appointed Victorian supervisors:
