Welcome

As an Ecumenical body, the Victorian Ecumenical System of Schools Ltd (VESS) and its members are committed to the basic doctrines of the Christian Faith drawn from the Old and New Testament Scriptures, the Three Ecumenical Creeds.

The schools that make up VESS reflect a common Christian ethos in their foundation. They do this on a school by school basis according to their unique faith positions and traditions.

The schools that form VESS are pledged to:

  • ecumenical sharing in the areas of education and worship;
  • expressing Christian beliefs in the life, worship and teaching of the schools;
  • providing caring school environments staffed by teachers committed to the aims of the schools and energetic in the pursuit of excellence;
  • operating and providing schooling at such levels of economic planning that the member schools are open to the widest possible cross-section of population;
  • creating opportunities for parental involvement in the member schools;
  • providing wide opportunity for subject choice and providing disciplined and caring learning environments.
