VPC E-NEWS JULY 2024 – Special Edition
Dear VPC Community,
Registrations for our RE-ENGAGING IN EDUCATION – FORUM are now open!
Join us on Tuesday, August 6th, 2024, at 7 pm for our #VPCLive event. Our distinguished panel will discuss pathways and educational alternatives to support students with school attendance challenges, including School Refusal, School Can’t, and School Avoidance. The panel includes parents, educators, psychologists, researchers, and government agencies.
The VPC advocates for parental choice in education and acknowledges that School Refusal may not accurately describe some students’ experiences, and that School Can’t or School Avoidance might be more fitting. These issues can cause anxiety, academic setbacks, social isolation, and family stress, impacting children’s education, mental health and wellbeing.
The Victorian Parents Council recognises the significant impact of school attendance issues and is convening an expert panel to explore various pathways and solutions for affected families.
Please refer to the attached flyer for speaker details. The event will end with a Q&A session.
VPC is a volunteer non-profit charity and welcomes volunteers. Consider joining us.
Sincerely,
Eveline Jona, VPC President
