ALPACCA
Albert Park College Community Association (ALPACCA) comprises parents and carers who are keen to formally contribute to the wellbeing of the college community. It is an independent body which provides resources, advice and support to fellow parents and to the college.
We encourage the participation of all parents in the life of the college and the education of their children. Great schools have strong connections with their communities and ALPACCA makes this happen.
ALPACCA organises events that bring parents and the wider community into the school. Their initiatives are consistent with the school's values, are fun, and help raise money for additional resources.
ALPACCA has a unique opportunity and responsibility to shape the college community according to the school motto - Lead, Create, Inspire.

Eurovision Gala Success
They came, they laughed and they danced the night away!
More than 180 parents and friends glammed up and let their hair down for the Eurovision gala at Studio 120 in August.
The dance floor was packed, the trivia event pitted country against country, and the photo booth got busier as the night grew longer.
The food, catered by parent Sally Thornton from Slow Cooked Sisters, was sensational and didn’t stop coming, while raffles and the silent auction ensured valuable money was raised to help fit-out APC’s planned youth arts precinct in Gasworks Arts Park.
The dance floor was packed, the trivia event pitted country against country, and the photo booth got busier as the night grew longer.
Bravely MC’d by comedian Mike McLeish, the night was a feast for the senses and helped raise more than $15,000.
A massive thank you to the hardworking ALPACCA committee, led by co-presidents Ruth Allen and Anna Vermooten, and the incredible community sponsors who donated products and services for the night.
As Principal Steven Cook said to the crowd in his welcome speech, APC is blessed “with the best school community in the country”.
