The Arts at VG
The VGHS Music School is a beautifully-renovated building situated next to the main school block.
The Music School houses 4 fully-equipped classrooms, a large performance room, a small computer room / library and three practice rooms.
VG has some of the largest subject music classes in the Eastern Cape: Gr 12 – 36, Gr 11 – 26, Gr 10 – 39.Our 4 full-time music teachers offer tuition in the following instruments: Piano, Violin, Viola, Flute, Recorder, Marimba, Brass and Voice.
Ensembles: Choir, Orchestra, Marimba Band, Wind Ensemble and String Ensemble.
Drama at VG remains at a consistently high standard. Girls have the opportunity to get involved in Drama at VG by taking it as a subject, participating in competitions or festivals like the Alexander Playhouse Competition (where VG placed 2nd in 2019) or being part of one of the many productions including the annual Inter-house plays and the Grade 9 Spring Play.
Girls learn about stage management, directing, choreographing, and the technical and backstage work (sound and lights) from one of our 3 Drama teachers and gain valuable opportunities to perfect their craft through our close working relationship with the Rhodes University Drama Department.
A variety of co-curriculars are offered at VG in the cultural sphere. These include:
Debating
General Knowledge
Christians in Action
Photography Club
One Woman, Many Faces
Chess Club
