Parents and Friends
Victorian Parent Council Workshop/Seminar
The VPC would like to invite you to an exclusive opportunity to meet and work with international parent engagement expert Professor Debbie Pushor in a personal workshop setting. This opportunity has strictly limited places (max. 30 attendees).
Debbie will be joined by some of our Australian parent engagement practitioners and additional speakers and panellists: Jacqui Van de Velde (Education Consultant), Caz Bosch (Chair, Parents Australia Inc.), Catherine Meynell-James (Stakeholder Manager, Department of Education & Training), Aynur Simsirel (Principal Advisor, Independent Schools Victoria) and Rachel Saliba (Executive Officer, Catholic School Parents Victoria).
This “one-day parent community engagement experience” is an opportunity not to be missed.
