There is no doubt that the pursuit of outstanding academic achievement is of utmost importance, yet equally so is a balanced education that realises every student’s potential; built upon our core values that develop young people of substance.
Whilst we are not an academic selective school, HVGS students consistently achieve strong results and academic attainment reflective of growth. This is because we provide the optimal learning environment for our students to flourish, develop positive attitudes about learning, and take risks in the classroom and beyond.
