A History of the school

A book celebrating the history of the school was published in 2009 as part of the 150th celebrations. Victoria College Belfast: The First 150 Years charts the history of the school from its foundation in 1859 to the present day. It brings together memories, reminiscences and photographs to create a fascinating portrait of one of the UK’s oldest girls’ schools.

Copies cost £20 and are available from the school office or from the Hon. Secretary of the OGA.
