Schools constitutional conventions

Since 1995, Education Queensland has organised Schools constitutional conventions for:

The conventions:

Nominate to attend the convention

Schools are invited to nominate a team of four senior secondary students to attend a convention. Students may nominate to attend one convention only.

Selecting Queensland delegates to the National convention

One student from each school team may seek election as a candidate to the National convention. Students may only nominate once as a candidate for election.

Students seeking election as a delegate to the National convention must deliver a speech Microsoft® Word document 255k at the Queensland convention they attend. In 2013, the speech will address the topic: Recognising Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples in the Constitution Microsoft® Word document 30k

All Queensland students attending regional conventions listen to the candidates' speeches. An election conducted by officers from the Australian Electoral Commission will determine regional delegates to the National convention. (Students may only nominate once as a candidate for election.)

The Schools constitutional convention program Microsoft® Word document 55k provides information about the activities students will participate in.
