Vic High Black & Gold Honour Roll
The Alumni’s premier biennial event, our Black & Gold Dinner, inducts a new group of extraordinary Vic High alumni into the Black & Gold Honour Roll each time it’s held. Each inductee is featured in a unique video, and Vic High students attend the event with alumni and help introduce each inductee. A wonderfully touching evening, as alumni across all school years gather to honour our own. It’s also a successful fundraising event that helps cover Alumni Association operating costs so we can keep connecting alumni and support our school and current students. Click on each name below for their presentation video. They’re excellent!

We Love Volunteers
Alumni volunteers supporting Vic High goes back to at least 1974, and we celebrate every single one of you. Hundreds of thousands of dollars raised, many school projects and amenities supported, and a lot of fun along the way. We are in awe of the dedication of volunteers to the Vic High Spirit and memories. And welcome all alumni to find their way to join in. Thanks!
