Victoria School

My DS’s yellow PE t-shirt seems to have threads coming off quite a bit. Has any one else noticed? Don’t know if it’s a quality issue or if it’s because he does quite a bit of physical exercise in it.

Hi,


Is VS on 2 CCAs policy?

Any kids staying in the west area? Care to share how long is the journey to school? Any school bus available?

Thanks.

No, one CCA will do.

Victoria Challenge 2015 was brilliant! Did any one see the boys cheering late into the night?

I saw some pictures. My son came back with a painted glass. Dunno what to do with it.

Personally hand painted? Good for keepsake!
The atmosphere last night was amazing. The boys were cheering their hearts out and I'm surprised how strong the school spirit is. Never expected DS to be so attached to his school as well.

Yes, the Victoria Challenge was really atmospheric. Was there for Supper with Family organised by PSG and brought food for my son and friends. Many alumni, including some who had started working, also came back and did their own challenge.


Could feel the Victorian Spirit literally. The buzz and excitement were in the air. When the cheers broke out, I was so moved. The cheering during yesterday's closing was even louder. Really envious of my boys who have such experiences. Must help them to appreciate what they have.

For parents who are interested, can see more of what the boys did for VC at the school Facebook account: https://www.facebook.com/victoriaschoolsingapore

The school's Open House is next Sat, 30 May. For parents whose boys are in P6, drop by and feel what VS is all about. The Open House details are at http://www.victoria.moe.edu.sg/announcement103.html


Btw, for current parents, next year is 14Oth Anniversary. Heard the school has started the planning, and the celebrations will have different events to cater to everyone - students, staff, alumni, parents etc. Looking forward to it. : P

Thanks for sharing! It was a good experience for parents too..to see the boys working so hard on something that they believe in. It was quite a sight to see 30-40 boys turn their classroom into a bedroom for a night, and sleep together..the camaraderie is amazing. Was also pleasantly impressed at the boys' well-mannered behaviour at the booths as they addressed those older than them as sir and ma'am. I asked DS about it, and he said that's how they're taught to address their teachers in school as well. The cheering video at the end of Victoria Challenge really summed everything up very well. Overall, DS's experience in VS so far as been nothing short of amazing. Looking forward to more details of the 140th anniversary celebrations next year.

Hi all,

My eldest son is currently studying in VS Year 1 (IP). I've noticed his getting stressed up lately and even have started to grow white hair. During PTM around a month ago his form teacher told me that he seem to not have any friends in the school. I've asked him about it and he told me that due to the fact that it's a boy school and that his the only one from his Primary school that went to VS, most of the boys does not share the same interests with him. Therefore he feels that he does't fit in and 'have no friend'. Due to this, his teachers have misunderstood him and thought that he's unsocial, lazy, incapable etc. Basically, a 'bad student'. (I also have no idea why)(Not saying that VS teachers are bad) I've also noticed that his results are affected by this. I'm wondering if I should transfer him to another school (Preferably Mixed-school) like Anglican High. He said that he doesn't want to do anything and just deal with it as he's afraid that things will get worst. But I'm afraid that he will develop depression and/or anti-social behaviour later on. So what should I do or what should he do? Thank you very much.
