Goulburn Valley Grammar School

Goulburn Valley Grammar School (or GVGS) is a private, co-educational school in Victoria situated on a 17 hectare rural site 6 km north of the centre of Shepparton, approximately 190 km north of Melbourne. Students from across Victoria and southern New South Wales attend, with students from Benalla, Seymour, Cobram, Numurkah, Yarrawonga, Tocumwal, Euroa, Moama, Echuca and Nagambie all undertaking the daily bus trip.

The school was founded in 1982 by Vic Ryall, and now admits students from Years 5–12. In 2008 a new principal was appointed, Mark Torriero. He succeeded Ian Rule, who had been in the position of Principal since 1998.

The motto of the school is Semper Ulterius, which can be translated from Latin to 'Always further', suggesting there is always something more to know or experience, and the mascot is the pelican. This was appointed to GVGS by late principal David Prest simply because pelicans were a common sight among the school grounds. The lake and wetlands on campus provided an ideal habitat for the animals.
