Victoria School

My son will be applying to VS. Impressed by the students I met at the open house - very well-mannered young men. Very rare to hear teenagers address adults as sir and ma’am. Hope my son can get in.

At VS, IP HMT is a must?

At VS, IP HMT is a must?

My friend called VS to ask last week and was told HCL is not compulsory but encouraged. Not sure about other HMT but I guess should be the same.

On the contrary , she called CCHM and was told HCL is compulsory from Sec 1 to Sec 3, and hence she puts VS as first choice as she wanted some 'leeway' in case son cannot cope.

But somehow I have a gut feel that HMT may become compulsory soon in IP schools as majority seems to be taking HCL nowadays from what I hear from friends' kids. :siam:

CCHM is SAP school. A must then.

I hope your son can get in. Mine has just graduated this year. He has indeed been transformed from a not-so-confident, bad-tempered, 'nua' in sport and impatient boy to a real confident, cheerful, sporty and yet gentle man. No joke. He had experienced small hiccups as those are life's inevitables. But the experiences he had in the last 4 years were invaluable & fulfilling and the Victorian spirit is a truly one of its magical kind. Not trying to hard-sell VS but speaking from the bottom of my heart. :love:

I called the admin office and was advised by the friendly lady of the following:
246 for O lvl track &
252 for IP

Note: There was a drastic drop of cop for 2017 o level track if I'm not mistaken. I believe the main factor was the construction of the Downtown Line which affected the sch's premises and its surroundings. Now construction is still ongoing but many traffic problems have been resolved and adjustments have been made to the sch's facilities.
