Dear Alumni,

VS 140th (VS140) Anniversary Celebration:
140th Anniversary Gala Dinner on Saturday, 17 September 2016, 6.00pm -10.00pm

Background

1.   The vision of Victoria School is to develop every Victorian into a Gentleman, Professional and Sportsman who makes tangible contributions to his family, work, community and nation. Established in 1876, Victoria School (VS) is known for her strong school spirit, rich traditions and for providing a broad-based holistic education.

2.   In 2016, VS celebrates 140 years of school history. The theme for the school’s 140th Anniversary Celebrations is “Viva Victoria”. Taken from one of the school cheers, the theme signifies vibrancy and dynamism. It represents the life and energy of the school in continuously grooming Victorians into Gentlemen, Professionals and Sportsmen.

3.   To nurture our next generation of Victorians, we aim to provide a high-quality learning education and environment that is accessible to all students, regardless of family background.

4.   As part of our 140th anniversary celebration, the school aims to raise funds for scholarship, bursaries, financial assistance and repair/maintenance of non-standard facilities. The funds raised will ensure that a high-quality education at VS remains accessible to all students, regardless of family backgrounds.
