For more than 60 years now, VPC has worked tirelessly with Victorian school parents. 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 the commitment of a small group of volunteers.
You can be involved as a parent, guardian, school, teacher or business; we love to collaborate with all those who are passionate about supporting children through education, from babies through to adulthood and beyond.
If you would like to join, don’t hesitate to contact us at vicparentscouncil.vic.edu.au
Whether it’s once a week or once in a while, we welcome your involvement.

Powerful Family Engagement in Learning “Learning at Home”
Tony Dalton, from the Dalton Consultancy is a guest blogger for VPC. Tony’s practical wisdom and insights are useful for parents and families wanting to engage more with their children’s learning. Read the blog.

Homeschooling – what really happens?
The number of parents choosing home education or homeschooling is on the rise. In this article, Home Education Network Victoria explains what homeschooling looks like and busts some of the myths that are out there. VPC supports parent choice in education, and this includes families choosing homeschooling. The VPC has therefore invited HEN Home Education Victoria to write an introduction Blog about home education in Victoria and about their organisation. They have organised an introduction session on 7 June 2023. There is a registration link in the blog.

We are continuing keen to hear about the experiences of homeschooling families, so VPC is better able to extend opportunities to support the important work of home education. We are still collecting data in our survey.

VRQA – Victorian Registration and Qualifications Authority
