Currently, your contributions enable the Alumni Association to award annually over
$8,000.00 in scholarships and bursaries to Vic High students. No other high school in the area has a program, sponsored by its alumni, to reward student achievement and support less-privileged students. Your donations have also supported the purchase of modern school buses and funded significant improvements to the school’s Wallace Auditorium.

DONATIONS

Donate to support the school. Your contribution allows us to continue our work supporting Vic High students through the scholarship and bursary funds and assisting in restoring the school.

There are other ways that alumni can assist the school and the quality of the educational experience for Vic High students. For example, recently a former student, acting as an executor of an estate, enabled a significant gift of art supplies and books to be given to the Fine Arts Department. Another alumni member recently donated a surplus colour enlarger for use in the Fine Art photography program. Inquires regarding this type of donation should be directed to the Treasurer of the Alumni Association.

To make a donation, print out and send in the donation form.
