Dear Parents, Old Boys and Victorians
Victorians keeping our flag unfurled!
Victorians have been flying our flag proud and high in all areas since the start of 2009. The competition season is still in progress and Victorians have already garnered many outstanding achievements. The attainments thus far are:
At the East Zone Level –
1) East Zone Inter-School Volleyball Championship – C Div was Champion & B Div was 2nd Runner-up. Both teams have played their way to the National Semi-finals.
2) East Zone Inter-School Badminton Championship – C Div was 2nd Runner-up & B Div was Champion.
3) East Zone Inter-School Table Tennis Championship – Both C & B Divs were 2nd Runner-up
At the National Level –
4) National Inter-School Cricket 8-A-Side Championship – B Div was Champion
5) National Inter-School Cricket 11-A-Side Championship – B Div was 1st Runner up.
6) National Inter-School Tennis Championship – B Div was 1st Runner-up.
7) National Floorball Inter-School Championship -B Div was 1st Runner-up.
8 ) National Hockey Inter-School Championship -B Div was 2nd Runner-up.
9) SPH School Relay Championship – C Div was overall Champion.
10) 50th National Cross Country Championships – C Div was Champion & B Div was 1st Runner up. This is a 20-year record of either the B or C Div winning one championship title except in 2007.
Our C & B Divs Soccer teams have also qualified for the East Zone finals. I am also happy to share that The Chinese Debating Team, having won the East Zone Champion title, has progressed to the National Semi-Final!
I am also very proud to share that our UGs have once again delivered excellent results:
1) Boys Brigade – 11th Unit Gold Award
2) NPCC – 9th Unit Gold Award
3) NCC (Land) – 5th Unit Gold Award
4) Scouts – 4th Unit Gold Award
5) Red Cross – 2nd Unit Gold Award & Community Service Gold Award
The above achievements are the outcome of the effort and perseverance of the staff and students. Indeed, nothing is without labour. May all Victorians continue to strive hard and keep the VS flag unfurled!

VS 2009 intake PSLE T-Score
Aggregate range of 2008 Primary 6 pupils posted to 2009 Secondary 1
Lower Upper Mean Median
246 270 252 251
http://app.sis.moe.gov.sg/schinfo/SIS_SearchDtls….
The mean and median from 2006 – 2008 have stayed fairly stable at about 250 which means that the intake is about the top 10% of the cohort.
The IP was first started by the secondary schools with GEP classes (top 1%) as an extension of the GEP programme to the rest of their schools as these schools take in the top 2-3% of the cohort.
Now the schools offering IPs have intakes with PSLE T-Score of at least 250 and above.
In other words, the current situation is that only the top 10% of the cohort get to enrol in an IP.
Given that VS mean/median PSLE T-Score are at about 250, VS should be able to attract boys with PSLE T-Score of 250 and above for a joint VIP with VJC.
A certain number of students can also enrol through DSA.
I have just received news that VS 'B' Division floorball team is in the National Finals again. We will be meeting the powerful Bukit Merah Sec team, who beat us in the finals 6-5 last year. This year, we draw with Bukit Merah 5-5 in the group fixtures. VS will need something more to beat Bukit Merah.
