Our School

and what we stand for

Excellence in Holistic Education

Everyone has a unique learning journey, so we place a strong emphasis on differentiated pathways to excellence. By supporting students' agency in their learning and providing effective structures for inquiry and curiosity, we encourage them to discover and pursue their passions while understanding what excellence looks like across all dimensions of learning.

Connected and Flourishing Community

Here, you'll find a connected, compassionate, and caring community. We believe that greater opportunities for student learning, both within and beyond the classroom, emerge from a shared purpose and a collective sense of responsibility for learning.

Inclusion and Belonging

We are an inclusive and diverse learning community. When you feel a sense of belonging, have agency at school, and know that your perspectives are valued, learning flourishes for everyone in our community.

Human-centred and Sustainable Systems

When school systems prioritise people's experiences and aim for future sustainability, we become more resilient to change and can focus our energy on student learning. This is a win for our students and staff!

Uniquely You At HVGS

Everyone at HVGS is unique. Everyone has a passion. Everyone has a place. Everyone has a story. Discover the transformative power of sharing your authentic self.
