Vision Statement:
Geelong High School recognises and values the people in its community and exists to provide a learning environment which will develop the full potential of all students. It also aims to challenge students to be their best, to grow socially and intellectually and to fully prepare them as adaptable citizens in an ever-changing society.

Mission Statement:
The school's motto, VITAE NOS PARAT, which means It (the School) Prepares Us For Life, provides a basis for the total school curriculum. Hence, the School Council wishes the students of Geelong High School to achieve not only high standards of academic success but also an appreciation of, and an ability to demonstrate, those qualities of human behaviour which are fundamental to the development of a caring, responsible and fulfilled society.
