My hopes, my pride and my inspiration....

As the school celebrated our good performance in the O-Levels today, Wayne and Sean came up to me.
Wayne was the Wushu Team Captain and Sean, was one of my Vice-Captains- they were the first batch of students to graduate from the wushu team since we were first formalised.

Wayne score 7 points for his L1R5 and Sean got an astounding 6points!

I am damn proud of you both and all the other boys in the wushu team.
This post will be a testament to history that the first official Team Captain and our Vice Captain, not only won the Bronze for us in the B-Div Choreographed Sparring but also were part of the B-Div team that broke into top 4 in 2008 by clinching 3rd place through the hard work of all the team members.

In this blog post, I leave behind a glorious memory and inspiration for all your juniors to follow.
May all of you who walk through the gates of Victoria, emerge as Gentlemen, Professionals and Sportsmen- well-rounded individuals with the courage to fight for the right things and to never give up.

Release of GCE O-Level Results for 2008 batch

Today was the release of the GCE O-Level results. It was with bated breath that the entire cohort of 2008 eagerly waited for the arrival of our Principal, Mr Low.
The results of their seniors in 2007 had been one of the best in the past 10 years and the class of 2008 were eager to know if they were able to fill the shoes of their seniors


When Mr Low went up to announce the breakdown of distinctions and results compared to the national average, we could all feel the buzz. I will not spoil it for you, so click on the video to hear it from the man himself, our Principal, Mr Low:


We definitely have done well this year! To all the naysayers and wet-blankets that have hinted or implied that 2007's results were a fluke and that VS' future as a premiere BOY's school was in doubt, we can now proudly stake our claim and shout it out for all to hear that VS is here to stay. 2007 was no fluke, 2008 isn't by luck but through sheer blood, sweat, grit and tears from teachers and students, we proved that we are indeed something more.

Here are some of the outstanding heroes of the class of 2008:


And here are the Top 3 Classes for 2008:

I must say that in my years in VS, I am seeing more and more, the better balancing of the Professional with the Sportsmen. For years, everyone knew we could play and play well; but often people doubted our academic capacity. Now we know and we can prove it, that the same fervour we have on the field of play, we can brind to the exam hall.

The mean L1R5 for the class of 2008 at Prelims was 16.9. We, the staff and teachers here in VS were worried and concerned but we believed in you and we gave you the best we could in hopes that all of you would flourish. The mean L1R5 for Class of 2008 is......


VS boleh- Boys, we can do it, yes, we can.
