Victoria School

[deardear07]

just curious… how do the DSA kids handle school work in VS? is there a clear gap between those who got in by psle score and those via DSA and scored more than 10marks lower? heard from a parent that they saw some DSA kids struggle at sec1 without much help from the teachers? not sure if that is true…

hi, this thread has been rather quiet. May I ask about the school hours of VS for sec 1?

How many days in a week would they be having long hours till abt 5pm or so? Would appreciate any feedback about the teachers too. Thank you in advance!

My boy from a SAP Pri sch, and got score 264 with Merit in HCL.


We are unable to make a decision between Dunman High and VS (IP). We love the culture of both schools. We want him to grow up to be a more well-rounded gentleman; and also strong in Chinese. VS is also more conveniently located. But at the back of my mind didn’t want to waste the chance of getting him into a SAP school.

Any advise please?

Dunman High if I were you. It is not too far off in distance right?

I stay at Bedok. So DHS is still not too far off. Maybe 40mins vs 15mins.


It’s more of the dilemma whether VS grooms them holistically whereas DHS is very academic focused.

My nephew was from Dunman High and I wanted my son to go to Dunman too. Agree Dunman is very academic focused and my nephew is the very studious type. Whereas my son loves sports and is more of a extrovert. My son picked VS (IP program) in the end and he's now very happily settled and doing lots of sports that he love and doing well in the IP program. Made a couple of good friends, get along well with his teammates in his CCA and most importantly participating in sports that he love.

Hi parents, I've been following this forum for a while but only just took the plunge and registered an account. Nice to be part of this amazing group!


I'm an old boy of Victoria School (1987-1990) and though lots have changed since my days in Geylang Bahru, reading Pages 88 to 125 non-stop brought back fond memories of my time in my alma mater, along with the khaki shorts, Victoria Challenge and \"O\" Levels!

Today, my son submitted his secondary school application. While he listed Dunman High School as his first choice, I'm expecting him to be posted to VS (IP) or VS (O).

I'm excited about having my son join the Victorian family and look forward to learning from and sharing with you guys and gals! :imanangel: :hugs:

Have just submitted the school choices for my son. He actually missed VS’ last year’s COP by 1 mark. Just in case he can’t get in this year, may I know if anyone has successfully appealed last year? What’s required for the appeal?
