Keith McCallion, Former Vic High Principal, Still Cheering for the Black & Gold

Keith McCallion never attended Vic High, but as Principal from 1989-1994, he helped bring it back from the brink in the 1980s when enrolment was way down. Despite leading other schools in Victoria, his heart and his volunteering remain with Vic High.

From helping launch and produce the popular Black & Gold dinners to organizing fundraising golf tournaments and chairing the Alumni’s Board, Keith is now helping gather stories for the next Vic High history book, due in time for the 150^th anniversary in 2026.

“It’s so gratifying to see the benefit to Vic High and the students of all our volunteer work,” says Keith. “All the Alumni volunteers are so positive, everyone has unique expertise, and we all work together to support Vic High and make a difference.”
