victoria institution

this for me has always been victoria institution... i have never known it by any other name... but to hear it officially recognized as victoria institution does put a smile to my face...

however, this school is not just about the name and the past glories... and no - i shall not condemn the school or it's students for all the "shortcomings" or "failure" to live up to it's traditions... all i want to do is to remind the current victorians to wear the school badge with pride and to always remember these lines from the school song...

Let us now with thankfulness

Praise the founders of our School

Let us now with thankfulness

Praise the founders of our School

For their foresight and devotion

Some who came across the ocean

Some Malaya's own sons

All true Victorians

Let us next remember here

All who passed through this our School

Let us next remember here

All who passed through this our School

Not one race but one in feeling

For a school to each appealing

That instruction be not all

Nor this School just roof and wall

Let us lastly pledge ourselves

Ever to uphold our School

Let us lastly pledge ourselves

Ever to uphold our School

In our work and in our leisure

With such zeal and in such measure

That the new Victorians

Match with Old Victorians
