For almost 60 years now, VPC has been the voice of non-government school parents in this state. That we are still here today is a testament to the hard work and support of parents, schools and parent associations across Victoria.

We are a not-for-profit, ACNC registered Charity organisation and are driven by commitment of a small group of volunteers. If you or anybody you know is interested in volunteering with VPC, please don't hesitate to contact us at: vicpc@vicparentscouncil.vic.edu.au.

Last chance to purchase your ticket, only a few places left

Important message: 
All attendees need to bring a current ‘Working with Children Certificate” and show this on arrival at registration, as the event is held during school hours at the Brighton Grammar School premises.
