2009 State SRC Event Calendar (pdf 38kb)

The 2009 NSW State SRC Conference will be held Tuesday 11 to Friday 14 August 2009.

In 2009, Director-General for a Day will be held on Wednesday 27 May during Education Week.

Director-General for a Day provides opportunities for secondary students in NSW government schools to learn about the challenges and satisfactions of working in senior management in the Department and allows students to find out how educational policy relates to schools.

In 2008, there were one hundred Expressions of Interest for Director-General for a Day from students in Years 9, 10 and 11 representing all educational regions. Two candidates (one male and one female) became Director-General for a Day and other students took on positions such as Deputy Director-General (Schools) for a Day, General Manager for a Day or Director for a Day. In regions, students became Regional Directors or School Education Directors for a Day.

The Expression of Interest and a list of regional contact persons for Director-General for a Day 2009 are available on the Department's intranet site.

UNICEF Day for Change is a partnership between UNICEF Australia, NSW public schools and the NSW Teachers Federation. Every public school in NSW is encouraged to celebrate the annual UNICEF Day for Change by holding an awareness raising activity.

Exchange programs enable students from diverse backgrounds to team up and experience new cultures and lifestyles. The 2007 NSW SRC worked with staff from the NSW Department of Education's Multicultural Programs Unit to create this brochure (pdf 296kb) to support the NSW Cultural Exchange Programs in Schools.
