Due to the inclement weather conditions, we regret to inform you that all assessments for Basketball, Cricket, Rounders, and swim squads will be cancelled for the remainder of this week.

School Closure

Dear Parents,

We regret to inform you that we have made the difficult decision to extend the closure of the school for the remainder of this week. We plan to resume in-person learning on Monday, April 22nd.

This decision was not taken lightly. We carefully considered various factors, including the safety of our school premises, the condition of minor and major roads, and the ability of our staff to safely commute to and from school.

We consulted with other schools and relevant authorities to ensure the best course of action. During this closure period, our distance learning program will continue as scheduled. We sincerely appreciate your understanding and support during this challenging time.

Thank you,
VHPS Team
