Co-Curricular
There are so many opportunities for VMHSS students to follow their passions whether they be on the sporting fields, the stage, the studio or the great outdoors. With extensive co-curricular and extracurricular programs in place, the difficulty will be in choosing. In addition to the programs, there are public speaking, debating, Service and social justice programs.
Sports
All students from year 5 to year 12 participate in our extensive sports program both at a house level and inter school competitions. Sport is a compulsory aspect of school life for all students. The high level of engagement and performance of VMHSS students in a wide variety of sports is a real feature of school life. All-weather floodlit playing fields and extensive facilities accommodate many codes of play and an exceptional team of onsite and guest coaches and mentors support all abilities and aspirations. Partnerships with professional leagues and player associations provide access to opportunity and continual inspiration. This gives our students an edge in competition but it also enhances the great sense of enjoyment, commitment and sportsmanship that permeates our comprehensive sports program.
Visual Arts
Complimenting the extensive visual arts curriculum, there are also many opportunities for students to engage with other aspects of the arts including life drawing and photography. Each year, exhibitions of student art work are held which showcase the talents of our students to the wider school community.
