Girls Vocational School Shisong


Welcome to GVS Shisong.


GVS means "Girls' Vocational School". There are several GVS schools around the NW and SW Provinces. We are in Shisong. The girls here are aged from 12years and above. Some of our girls have been to school in other parts of Cameroon and then left education to have a family or to help out at home on the farm or in the house. They are then able to return to school and learn a range of subjects. At GVS we study English, French, Maths, Science, Geography, Civics, Home Management, First Aid, Health and Hygiene, Child Care, Cooking and Dressmaking. It is a great place to learn all the skills we will need in the future. On a Wednesday afternoon we have activities and sports. Our Handball team are very very good! In activities we have a choice of what to do, there's sports, dance, singing, drama and AIDS club. GVS also has about 70 girls who live on site during term time.
