D A Y F I V E- SKI TRIP 🎿 More challenging conditions yesterday but a good day’s skiing nonetheless! Pupils enjoyed a disco in the evening, with birthday cakes for Ruby and Ella before the dancing started! 🎉 Hard to believe it’s home time tomorrow!

House Netball Competition 🏆 In what has become an annual event, pupils in Years 11-14 from their respective Houses took to the netball court in what was a fiercely contested tournament! At the end of the group matches, Howard 🔵 and Crescent 🟢 were tied on 6 points but after a very close final, Crescent lifted the trophy 🏆, winning by three goals to two. 👏 Richmond 🟣 placed 3rd, Wellington 🟡 4th, with Marlborough 🔴 completing the podium in 5th. Our Year 14 pupils then took on the staff in what was a highly entertaining fixture, winning 14-8! This result brings our annual tally to 1-1! Thanks to all who competed and to our enthusiastic spectators cheering from the sidelines! Looking forward to see who takes the points advantage in 2025! 😊 #housecompetition #housenetball #houseproud #vcb

Christmas Dinner Day Christmas jumpers were donned, Santa and the Grinch made an appearance and we even had a visit from two turkeys! Sounds like a typical Christmas Dinner Day at VCB! Thank you to all the pupils and staff who really embraced the festive spirit today and to our wonderful canteen staff for a truly delicious Christmas dinner! We are officially on the one week countdown! #christmasjumperday #christmasdinner #festivespirit #santa #thegrinch #vcb
