Want to have your voice heard? Apply to become a member of the myQCE Student Reference Group.
We’re recruiting new members for 2026 and applications are now open.
Who can apply?
Queensland students who will be in Year 10, 11 or 12 (in 2026) are eligible to apply — the myQCE Student Reference Group members will reflect the diversity of students from schools across the state.
So, regardless of where you live, the school you attend, or the subjects or courses you're studying, you can apply to become a member.
You will need to be a good communicator (or willing to work on your skills) and actively participate in group meetings and discussions.
You will also have to be dedicated, as your membership will continue until you graduate from Year 12.
What are the benefits?
The myQCE Student Reference Group will let you tell us your thoughts about the QCE system and senior schooling.
Not only will you help us to shape QCE system processes and resources, you'll also:
- hear insights from students around the state
- gain valuable networking skills
- gain 'soft skills' to help you communicate with others and broaden your life experience
- learn how to collaborate and work as a team
- get practical experience within a 'virtual' workplace setting
- be able to list your membership on your resume.
What will I need to do?
The group meets after school once a term, on a Wednesday from 4:00–5:00 pm, so you’ll need to make yourself available for approximately one hour each term. We’ll share all dates well in advance to ensure everyone knows when to attend.
Meetings are online, so a good internet connection and a device with a camera and microphone will be essential. We discuss lots of different topics at the meetings and sometimes ask you to do some pre-meeting work, such as completing a survey or collecting feedback from classmates.
And you'll also need to tell us a little bit about yourself, so we can tell others about you (if you're ok with that).
How do I apply?
To apply, complete the myQCE Student Reference Group application form and tell us why you want to be involved.
A couple of things before you start:
- Ask someone at your school (a teacher or other staff member) if they are happy to be your referee. You will need to include their name and work contact details on the application form.
- Ask your school principal to endorse your application. You will need to include their name and work contact details on the application form.
- You will need consent from your parent/carer, so you may like to complete the form while you are at home.
Applications close on Friday 26 September 2025.
