A Board of Governors, elected by members of the Society, together with two appointed governors, support the Head of School and Senior Leadership Team and autonomously governs the school.
Parents' Auxiliary
The Parents' Auxiliary work on a volunteer basis to support the school, other parents and the entire SMUS community. The PA is an integral part of SMUS. They organize events and fundraise for the school.
Alumni Association
The Alumni Association Board and members are another important group within our community, serving the school's interests both locally and within our alumni community in 70 countries around the world.
American Friends
It is not surprising that given Victoria's location below the 49th parallel that one of the countries with most connection to SMUS is the USA. Through many years, the cross-border traffic has meant a thriving community of alumni exists south of the border, calling themselves the American Friends.
