Student Representatives

Over the course of a year, the University holds recruitment and information events that require people-loving student representatives to speak, guide, host and set up equipment. Time commitment varies, for example, Study at Vic Open Day is a full day's work, while Wellington Information Evening and a school visit requires only a few hours work. Victoria Plus approved, VILP for international students only.

Study at Vic Open Day

Our annual Open Day attracts over 3,500 students and keeps us busy for month in preparation! We employ over forty Student Representatives to ensure the day runs smoothly. From taking guided tours of the campuses to staffing Information Pods throughout the day, the work is varied and fun, and we have a blast working with the whole team on the day.

School visits

This could be your chance to return to your old school and impress them with what you’ve made of yourself! Some of you may remember a visit from Vic to your school when you were in Year 12 or 13, and you may like to return the favour. We take students out to all the Wellington schools to talk about their experiences and inspire the next Vic generation, so if you are a confident public speaker and attended a Wellington secondary school, let us know.

Information Evenings

We hold two Information Evenings a year in Wellington and several more around the regions. We are always looking for dynamic Student Representatives to help us out on the night, both with setting up, giving tours and speaking. For our regional events, we bring a student who went to school from that area – for example, we bring a Napier student along to our Hawkes Bay event.
