a unique society

Life at school

At Viborg Katedralskole you can become involved in all activities on equal terms with all other students.

For instance, this means you have access to a variety of student clubs.

Furthermore, we deeply prioritize several events throughout the year. Such as galla, events, parties and much more.

All these activities give you the possibility to strengthen your social relations to your classmates or to other students across the school.

Everyday life at the school

Cafés, football tournaments, galla and homework café.

Everyday life at VK is full of opportunities to develop both socially and academically. You will experience becoming part of the IB community and the VK community, too.

Both communities is characterized by high academic standards and very engaged students. All of this in the setting of a 900-year-old school which offers a lot of traditions.

- The Senate
!
"
The Senate is the school's student council. The Senate is a student organisation for you, the individual student. On a daily basis, the Senate is governed by a chairman, a deputy chairman and a treasurer. In addition, there are two members from each class, which brings us up to approx. 80 members. The purpose of the Senate is to process and address issues at the school in order to create a safe environment for all the school's students. This is done through close collaboration with the school management, whoare always interested in our input, big and small. The Senate, like all other student councils, promotes student democracy and debate, but where the Senate differs from the student council - as you may know from primary school - is in that the Senate has a budget with 'a larger disposable amount'. This enables us to tackle ambitious issues at school

Minerva is Denmark's oldest student organisation and assists in arranging some big and unforgettable parties. During the school year, Minerva puts on five big parties. The first, is the Flower Ball, where everyone is nicely dressed and the boys from 1g handout roses in large quantities. For the following party in the fall, Minerva chooses a cool theme themselves. Santa hats, Christmas jamming and happy students characterise the cozy Christmas Ball. This spring we hold VK's biggest party, Carnival. For thisevent, an artist is usually hired who can kick the party into full gear together along with the many different costumes you show up in. The last party of the school year is Prom, where we say goodbye to all the wonderful 3Gs and get people ready for summer vacation with a bang of a party. Spreading fun and memorable moments for all the festive students at VK is Minerva's flagship cause. Find "Minerva" on Facebook here

- Café

Viborg Katedralskole's Friday café is an old and cozy tradition. The café committee, which consists of 15 students from all classes, arranges an afternoon six times a year where the school's students can meet up with friends and classmates and get a break from the usual framework of everyday life. For the Friday cafés, entertainment has always been provided in the form of themes, competitions, various games, etc. as well as the opportunity to buy toast and drinks at budget prices. In addition to having a fun and cozy afternoon at school and a good start to the weekend, the cafés provide ample opportunity to meet across classes and year groups and are thus a good contribution to the school's social life.

Radio Wad Up acts as the school's radio. This group was formed in 2011 on the initiative of two students who lacked music during breaks and had the will to get a radio up and running. It came to be called Radio Wad Up and is still going strong. The radio is 100% student-led, and our main task is to play music for the students in the big break. We also play at the Friday cafés. We play all kinds of music and gladly take requests and suggestions. In addition, we also regularly post music-related articles on ourFacebook page. Radio is not a big organisation, but nonetheless, we enjoy putting time in this project, which we all find super important and rewarding
