Victoria School

After the orientation and camp, I think all parents agree that they have made the right choice in sending their sons to VS. :lol: :lol: DS3's best friend regretted that he refused to choose VS. :stupid: :stupid: :stupid: To parents of P6 students this year: check out the schools and make your choice wisely. :xedfingers:

TKSS. It's not about the sch though. It's his expectations and he was envious that VS has an adventure camp which he would love to go.

Hi!


I agree with tutormum. So far that I know of, it seems VS has their orientation at an adventure camp while most schools conduct theirs in the school compound. I posted the blogspot on my FB and received comments expressing surprise that sec 1 boys went through such training. Very positive comments received. Even overseas friends commented too! Some planned to show their P6 boys.

I signed up PSG. Hope to have the opportunity to catch up and learn more.

Being a newbie, I am still groping my way about.

Great school,


Can some Victorian give me tips on how to go about applying to VS using DSA route ?

What is the best method ?

Thanks

Despite its low-profile, Victoria School has been a quiet achiever over the years.

Its most high profile alumni are President S R Nathan and Senior Parliamentary Secretary Teo Ser Luck.
The current Chief of Army Major-General Neo Kian Hong ( a SAF scholar ) is also a VS alumnus. He is also seen as a potential Chief of Defence Forces.
I would put VS in the same league as ACS and SJI.
All their old boys are serving Singapore well in various positions in government, business, community service and the professions.

I don't know VS is strongest in which area. That said, it seems to be a well rounded school with great achievements in both academic and sports. If your DS is strong in any of these areas, you can try the DSA route. If your DS has been consistently scoring about 80%, I also think he will not have problem scoring at least 245 to get in. If he is not strong academically, he may have problems coping in his studies though. DS3 came back with lots of homework on the official first day of study. He was given lots of notes for science. :!: Pssst, it's good cos DS3 is a very relaxed student and needs lots of pushing, so the more work the better for him.
