2025 - 2027
QASEL Vice President
HOSES/ DP Special Nomination

Alicia Smith

I am expressing my interest to continue work as QASEL Committee member/VP role for 2025 after completing my first 2 year in 2023/24. I am the Deputy Principal – Inclusion at Woree State High School. My role includes Inclusion as a whole school model, Transitions from Primary to High School to Post School, Implementing UDL Framework, NCCD Champion, Collaborative/Distributive Leadership modelling, and Building capability through a culture of learning in an inclusive school environment. I was a workshop presenter at QASELCON 2022 and room chaired in 2023/24 as a QASEL State Council Member, and am on the current organising committee for QASELCON.


I have shared the role of councillor with Michelle Eriksson and we have been able to provide support and professional conversations across our region because we each cover different geographic areas and represent different areas of education. Our journey is increasing exposure in the region with an increase in engagement from other leaders and members of QASEL. We have been conducting fortnightly check ins and term meetings, however I would like to continue as we are able to work collaboratively together on the issues affecting FNQ. We have all been involved in reviewing position papers and policy as part of our current role.


Supports can be difficult to access in FNQ and we endeavour to provide collegial support to our peers and members by being accessible and approachable. I would like to continue in this role where I can have an impact on being the voice for FNQ at State Council Meetings and as a mentor/critical friend for my peers across this region, and to encourage broader membership.


In terms of the position of Vice President, I am increasingly involved as an aspiring and acting Principal and the strategic work at this level. I aspire to meet the criteria of the role by representing the members in a capacity that is to support the President and the Management committee in its decision making and response to departmental strategic direction and agenda, including reference groups and advocacy work.
