VSC Community Association News

Welcome to another year at Vermont SC and a Happy New Year to you. We hope this year is a much better year than 2020. 

The VSCCA is the social, networking and fundraising arm of the College, consisting of parents keen to be involved with how their child is being educated. By getting involved, we get to hear first-hand the (co-curricular and extra-curricular) initiatives being implemented by the College and how they may affect our children.  By being a part of the Community Association, we also get the opportunity to influence the initiatives being implemented by the College. 

During the year we organise and help to run a number of social and fundraising activities. The benefits are threefold.  One, we help raise valuable funds for the College to buy additional equipment for the students, not covered by the Department of Education grants.  Second, parent interest and involvement in the College sends a very powerful message of support to students and staff and third, this is an excellent way of meeting new friends whilst seeing your efforts rewarded by an improved school environment.

2020 was a very challenging year for all of us, and we are excited to be able to start our Community Association activities up again.  We actively encourage all parents/guardians to become involved in the VSCCA during 2021. All parents, whether “new” or “old” are warmly welcome to assist us – we really value, appreciate and want your practical support. New Year 7 parents who have been actively involved in primary school are urged to maintain support for your child by bringing your experience and energies across to Vermont Secondary College – we need your support!

If this is what you are looking for to help you keep involved with your child’s education, do drop in for the next meeting.  If you cannot attend the meeting but want to be involved, please leave your contact details at the College Front Office or email Bec Mitchell on VSCCA@vermontsc.vic.edu.au The meetings and events provide a great opportunity to meet other parents, and also members of the College leadership team.

Meeting dates for 2021 will be advertised shortly.  Please keep an eye on the newsletter and bulletin for further information.
