The Victorian Association for Philosophy in Schools is proud to host our 2025 conference.

Over two days, local, national, and international experts in Philosophy in Schools and beyond will showcase their work, enabling teachers to gain practical and ready-to-use strategies to implement in their classroom immediately. The event will be held at Monash University Caulfield Campus.

There is an additional ticket item called "Post-conference Friday Dinner." Please add this ticket to you booking if you would like to attend the post-conference dinner. All conference delegates are welcomed and encouraged to attend. The dinner will be local to the conference location (Caulfiled), but the precise venue will be decided upon once the number of people is attending is clearer. Once a restaurant booking is made, these tickets will be limited to the capacity of the restaurant booking (so don't wait too long to book).

If your school or university is paying for your ticket and is unable to pay online, there is an option to generate an invoice (including PO number) via this site.

Alternatively, please email the treasurer with your ticketing information and institution's details and we will provide an invoice.

e.g.:

"I would like a ticket for a VAPS member Two Days. Please send an invoice for $300 to Example Primary School, at accounts@example.edu.au"

VAPS is able to provide subsidies on a case-by-case basis. We encourage regional/rural teachers, interstate/international students, are those with limited financial means to contact us about subsidised access to the conference.

Please email the treasurer to inquire about this option.
