ON October 19 and 20, we hosted our annual prize-giving ceremonies where pupils were rewarded for their academic and other achievements. It is encouraging and rewarding that these ceremonies are very long and that there are pages of recipients on the lists, as this means that VHS is still on the right track and busy shaping winners! We are very proud of all the pupils who received prizes at these prestigious events. It is also worth mentioning that the guest speakers at both ceremonies were ex-VHS pupils, who are now successful, impressive adults.
