Words cannot explain how i felt when i returned to victoria on 10 feb to collect my O'level results.The feeling was tremedous.It was overwhelming.
I was back in victoria.I stood beside the koi pond and stared at the victoria crest.Victoria thy sons are we.Memories of my time in victoria school came crashing into my mind.
I was a secondary school student then.I was young,innocent and completely new to the school.My sch then -Victoria school @ geylang bahru.The old campus was the place i grew into a fine young man.It was the campus that watched me grow and mature.It was there that i first learnt and grasped the victorian spirit.
June 2003.We moved to our new school campus-victoria school @ siglap link.It was a brand new beginning.Old systems were abolished,in place were new systems that we were totally not use to.We adapted and quickly began creating our own history in victoria.
2005.Our batch overcame all odds and finally achieved our ultimate goal in cca achievements.We swept 5 golds in the Syf.The uniform groups did well too.Ncc land,Boys brigade,Npcc and scouts achieved excellent results in their respective competition.The vs cross-country swept the national chapionship for both the C and B division.
10 feb 2006.We did the school proud once again.We had achieved excellent academic results!
Class of 2002-2005-We have done well.We have shown that we are a all-rounded batch.We have excelled in all areas.I thank all victorians out there for making it possible.Of course the teachers deserved our thanks as well.All these would not have been possible if not for the teachers constant support and dedication.
Victoria in Singapore There are others school we know Victoria is something more The school that watch'd us grow
For here we've learnt and striven too And played the sportsman's game Victoria we give to you The honour that you claim
Victoria,thy sons are we And we will not forget Victoria,thy triumphs see And victories we share yet
For others came before and went And carried to our world Victoria's fame and our intent To keep her flag unfurled
The school song was sung by the graduating class.As we sung the school anthem,i stared at the school badge hanging on top of the hall and i thought of the school motto.Nil sine labore which means nothing without labour.Indeed,we have accomplished our amazing feats through hard work and not by luck.To the present victorian-work hard and keep victoria's flag unfurl!
Thinking of these past memories,i felt both joy as well as sadness.Joy because i had put in my best and done the school proud.I felt i have contributed to the school with all that i have.sadness because i would never enjoy the times i had with all my victorian friends.we have now gone our separate ways.Indeed,i will meet some of my friends in victoria junior college.But will we still share the bonds and experience the time we had at victoria school?
I now close this chapter of my life.I stepped out of victoria school,holding my head high.
victoria thy sons are we...
look out for part 2(My memories @victoria school -prefectorial board)
