Velmead Parents' Association (VPA)
Velmead Parents' Association works with the school to organise fun events for children and parents.
We meet once a month, usually at 7pm at the school. Nathan Penfold is the VPA teacher liaison.
There is a small committee of parents.
We have an active Facebook page - just for parents - and an email velmeadpa@gmail.com
