Life at school

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, who are 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 hand out 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 this event, 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.

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.

A school is not just the buildings in which teaching takes place. It is the sum of all who have their everyday life at school. The purpose of NOVUS is to portray VK's soul - the living pulsating spirit that makes the school a very special place. NOVUS is the school's student-led media platform. We publish video blogs, articles and podcasts that tell about things big and small - very close to the students' everyday lives. Snapshots, debates and Christmas calendar bring students together across year groups and classes. Everyone has a voice and the opportunity to be heard. We always strive to bring current topics and we span a wide sphere of interests. So we have room for you! Read the blog here.

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 our Facebook page. Radio is not a big organisation, but nonetheless, we enjoy putting time in this project, which we all find super important and rewarding.

Bohr's Disciples is a new student organisation that loves science. It organises events, presentations and much more, all of which are about how the world around us is connected. 

Every other year, a musical is held at Viborg Katedralskole. This is a really large production, where everything is student-made - from script to stage set-up and choreography. It is us - the students - who decide and carry out everything. The musical is a large community formed around this large project, which requires several months of preparation. We are having a lot of fun with it, and we are looking forward to showing the result to hundreds of people. Being part of the musical is a completely unique experience for VK students.

We are Viborg Katedralskole's film channel. We film for the cafés and other exciting events at the school. We also hold an annual film festival in Fotorama, where the media studies teams can watch their films and win various awards.

In On Spot we are always welcoming new members, so if you are into making films, you should definitely consider becoming a part of On Spot! You can find our films on our Facebook page, or - if you are lucky enough - at one of the school's morning assemblies.

To put it simply, Global VK is a social club. It is made up of a co-ordinating team who arranges various events during the year that the students can participate in. We do not exactly have a focus on internationalism, as the name could imply, but more so a focus on creating relations between students who otherwise would not have anything to do with each other. With that being said, our events will be in English in order to create a common language, and in that way avoid excluding some of the schools students.

Global VK is a fairly new organisation but we already have plenty of ideas and plans such as movie nights, game nights and going ice-skating at Christmas. Sometime it feels as if you are one big group of different personalities but one thing you all have in common is a shared interest in meeting new people.

We are a cozy, student-led club for those who find debate and exchange of views exciting. We live in a democratic society, but not to an extent so that everyone is heard equally. The one who takes the floor - and does so in style - is the one who is heard. The Debate Club is an opportunity to obtain that style. In addition, it provides the opportunity to other people's views and perhaps even become a little wiser on some issues, or you can help to give others a new understanding of a given issue. We debate everything that can be debated; everything from pineapple on pizza to euthanasia. So if you want to help find the solutions for the future and not least debate, then become part of the debate club.

The MGP committee is responsible for the annual Eurovision show, where all students at the school can be allowed to participate and perform. It is a big party with song and dance held on a Friday afternoon in collaboration with the café committee. Glitter and confetti characterise the cozy show for all the school's students and teachers, which ends with a vote to find the winner. But remember: it is all fun and games.

We are responsible for Viborg Katedralskole's morning assemblies. Together with teachers and the principal, we select humorous features and exciting information for VK's students. We make sure the morning assemblies are as entertaining as possible. In addition, we plan the morning assemblies with the Jingle Band, which is responsible for the good atmosphere with great music between the features. The committee consists of students from all classes.

In addition to all the above committees, we have the Promoter Group, Free Visual Arts, the Role Playing Club, the Red Cross Committee and the Choir. 

In addition, during the year there is a large number of internal football matches between the classes, volleyball in the hall and much more.
