Introduction to Victor Harbor High School

It is a privilege to work with staff, students, and families at Victor Harbor High School, where our mission is to support individual learning success; enabling our young people to grow and develop, becoming ready to embrace the challenges and rewards of adult life.

Our vision is that our students will leave us as proficient writers and speakers, great leaders when they can be, good followers when they should be, creative no matter their field, and positive team members when required. As global citizens they are aware that their behaviour makes a difference, and above all they are generous of spirit.

Creative, adaptable timetabling is a strong feature of the school.  This enables students to access a wide range of subjects in line with their passions and interests. Student transience is usually around 14% with a greater number of enrolments in than out of our site, with many of these being from interstate, local private schools, and intrastate. At the same time, staff turnover is minimal and characterised by a group of teachers who are invested in our community, open to change, and are caring and welcoming in nature.

A broad range of activities where students can extend their skills and connect with other like-minded students are available both as subject curriculum and as extra-curricular activities. These support our students to belong and connect to others in a healthy environment. Many examples of these highlights can be found on the school’s website, Facebook and in the annual VHHS yearbook.

Just as we all have differing interests; we all learn in differing ways. At Victor Harbor High School, we appreciate the opportunity to play a part in educating your children. We believe that no two students are the same, and therefore, no two school tours should be the same either. The relationship between home and school is vital in any student’s success and we welcome families to view our school in a personalised, intimate setting. By offering personalised school tours to new families at a time that best suits you, we hope to create stronger relationships within our community and better understand how we might be able to tailor your child’s learning pathway to their needs. Please contact us on (08) 8551 1900 to arrange your school tour with a member of our Leadership team.
