Goulburn Valley Grammar School (or GVGS) is an independent, co-educational school in Victoria situated on a 17 hectare rural site 6 km north of the centre of Shepparton, approximately 190 km north of Melbourne. Students from across Victoria and southern New South Wales attend, with students from Benalla, Seymour, Cobram, Numurkah, Tocumwal, Moama and Echuca all undertaking the daily bus trip. The school's mascot is the pelican, and the motto is Semper Ulterius, which can be translated to always further, suggesting there is always something more to know or experience.

In 2008 a new Principal was appointed, Mark Torriero. He succeeded Ian Rule, who had been in the position of Principal since 1998.
