Parents
Victoria is a democratic, state-wide organisation that represents
parents of students in Victorian government schools. This
organisation has no political affiliations.
Parents
Victoria seeks to ensure that education “remains free,
compulsory, secular and available to all”. Safety and
welfare are also concerns. This association attempts to put
an emphasis on the development of policy that supports the
whole child – nurturing “respect for human rights
and fundamental freedoms”.
As
well as providing a forum for ‘Parent Groups’
across the state, Parents Victoria provides advice, support
and information, the ‘Parent’s Voice’ publication,
seminars and guest speakers.
Parents
Victoria is the voice of parents with school children –
a voice that is concerned with providing their children with
the best educational experiences.
This
organisation is focused specifically on supporting students
and could prove a powerful and supportive ally in gaining
momentum for policy creation or change.
A
similar body exists in all other states and territories.
