The AGSV was founded in 1920 to provide an alternative to the Associated Public Schools of Victoria (APS).

Following every Summer and Winter season, the top-performing students in both the AGSV and the APS compete against each other in the annual competition between the two associations.

In 2001, the AGSV and the APS coordinated to form a combined AGSV/APS girls' sport program.
