Premised on character and leadership excellence, the VS experience grooms high-ability boys into Gentlemen, Professionals and Sportsmen who are upright and balanced leaders with a strong sense of contributing back to the community. At VS, the Victorian Spirit is the emotional bond that all Victorians, past and present, cherish. As our students say, “Once a Victorian, Always a Victorian”. Every Victorian has the sense of pride and belonging to the school, and the desire to do his best to bring honour to the school. In 2016, VS celebrated 140 years of school heritage and excellence. The next chapter for VS will be exciting as we affirm our achievements, enhance our programmes and create a dynamic school environment – a school known for her rich blend of heritage and modernity, and where our Victorians look back with wonderful memories, joy and pride.

The convent, established in 1854 in central Singapore, is now the ‗premier lifestyle destination‘, CHIJMES. I show that the Sisters were early providers of social services and girls‘ education, with an orphanage, women‘s refuge and schools for girls. They survived the turbulent years of the Japanese Occupation of Singapore and adapted to the priorities of the new government after independence, expanding to become the largest cloistered convent in Southeast Asia.

  • Fellow Victorians Ladies and Gentlemen, Good Evening, Since
    Fellow Victorians Ladies and Gentlemen, Good Evening, Since we are among friends, I hope that you will forgive me if I do not begin by recognising all the persons who should be recognised. It is many years since I last attended an Old Victorian’s dinner. So it is good to come again and see how many of my generation are here. A gathering of alumni from a secondary school is rather unusual. If you get to my age, in the seventies, you ask yourself what is so special about the very few years, not exceeding 5 years of your life that you spend in a secondary school or junior college. What kind of person you are today have been more shaped and influenced by your years after secondary school, either in further studies or in your livelihood or in your responsibility as spouse or parent or grandparent. What then is so significant about the few years that we spend in secondary school or in junior college that many of us have this desire to get back together with our friends from youth? I myself was in Victoria School from 1951 to early 1956. When I was doing my O levels in 1954 a group of 12 of us formed a study group. We are all in different professions and two of us have passed away in the last two years. Yet every year we still meet at least once a year with our spouses over dinner. That may be why I have not attended the OVA gatherings as often as I should.

Since its inception in 1951, the Public Service Commission (PSC) has served as the custodian of these values for the Singapore Public Service. Th ey provide the foundation for PSC’s mission in appointing and promoting public offi cers, deciding on disciplinary matters and appeals for promotions, as well as selecting scholars. However, the PSC recognizes that a forward-looking Public Service needs to adapt to, and Ieven be a few steps ahead of, the changing environment. Over the last 58 years, the PSC has changed in order to ensure that the Singapore Public Service remains the employer of choice and continues to attract its fair share of Singapore’s talent. In 2008, PSC launched the internship programme for Junior College (JC) students. Th e internship is meant to enthuse top JC students to take up PSC scholarships and work in the civil service. Th e programme comprises work attachments to government agencies, learning journeys and dialogue sessions with senior civil servants. In all, 59 students and 14 agencies participated in the inaugural programme. Projects ranged from studying casino-related off ences to developing training materials for aviation psychologists – a refl ection of the scope and complexity of public administration in Singapore.
